6. When all S-VOLs at the primary site are PSUS status, data in P-VOLs and S-VOLs are the same.
S-VOLs at the primary site are ready for host read/write activity. Resume applications at the
primary site.
7. Execute the pairresync -swaps command, which reverses P-VOLs and S-VOLs and resynchronizes
the pairs. Copy flow is from the primary site to the secondary site (was disaster recovery site).
NOTE:
specify a data volume. However, the command is rejected if the restore journal where the
data volume belongs is in Active, Halting or Stopping status.

Recovering the primary site from a failure when the system consists of multiple primary
and secondary storage systems
If a disaster or a failure occurs on the primary site, where the system consists of multiple primary
and secondary storage systems, you can continue the business tasks in the remote site and maintain
the data consistency in the RAID Manager consistency group. If a disaster or a failure occurs on
the primary site, first transfer the tasks from the primary to secondary site.
To transfer the business tasks to the secondary site by using RAID Manager:
1. Switch the operations from the primary to secondary site.
2. Specify the swap option and split the pair (pairsplit -RS).
3. Confirm that the status of all Continuous Access Journal secondary volumes in every secondary
storage systems become SSWS.
4. Using the volumes in SSWS status in the secondary storage systems, resume the business tasks
on the secondary site.
For information on how to use RAID Manager, see HP StorageWorks P9000 RAID Manager User
Guide.
