Resynchronizing one or more BC pairs

1. Unmount the split (PSUS) S-VOLs before starting the pairresync operations. When the pairresync
operation starts, the disk array stops accepting write I/Os to the S-VOL.
2. In the BC main screen, select the port, host group, or P-VOL in the Tree View box to filter the volumes
displayed in the Volume list.
3. In the BC main screen, select the pairs to resync, right-click the selected pairs, and select Pairresync.
The Pairresync window appears.
4. In the Pairresync window, select the pairs, and set the copy pace (Slower, Medium, or Faster) and
resync type (Normal Copy, Quick Resync, Reverse Copy, or Quick Restore) for each pair. Reverse and
quick restore pairresync cannot be performed on suspended pairs (PSUE) or L2 cascade pairs.

CAUTION:
settings are swapped. To avoid performance impact due to quick restore operations:
• Ensure that the P-VOL and S-VOL have the same RAID level and HDD type before performing the
quick restore operation. To restore the original RAID levels after quick restore, stop host I/Os to
the pair, split the pair, perform the quick restore operation for that pair again, and restart host
I/Os to the pair.
• Because the Cache LUN settings are exchanged during a quick restore operation, you must
perform one of the following operations. If you do not, the change of location of the cache
residence areas may cause I/O performance to the Cache LUN data to be down.
– Set the same Cache LUN settings (locations) for the P-VOL and S-VOL before performing the
quick restore operation.
– Release the Cache LUN settings of the P-VOL and S-VOL before the quick restore operation,
and reset the Cache LUN settings of the P-VOL and S-VOL after the pair changes to PAIR status
as a result of the quick restore operation.
If you do not want to resynchronize the P-VOL and S-VOL after the quick restore operation, set the
Swap&Freeze option before performing the quick restore operation.
