When power is removed from primary or secondary system

If power is removed from the primary system during remote copy operations, the primary
system assumes that a failure has occurred and splits all pairs. When the primary system splits
pairs, the secondary system also assumes that a failure occurs and splits all pairs.
If power is removed from the secondary system during remote copy operations, the secondary
system assumes that a failure has occurred and splits all pairs. When the secondary system
splits pairs, the primary system also assumes that a failure occurs and splits all pairs.

When power is removed from network relay devices

If power is removed from a network relay device during remote copy operations, the primary and
secondary systems assume that a failure has occurred and split all pairs.

Power off storage systems intentionally

This section explains what should be noted when you intentionally power off systems or network
relay devices.
NOTE: To intentionally power off the primary or secondary system, contact your HP account
team and ask them to power off the system.
To intentionally power off the primary or secondary system, contact your HP account team and

Power off the primary or secondary system

To power off during copy operations
1. Ensure that all pairs or mirrors are split and that the status of all pairs is PSUS.
2. Turn power off.
3. When ready, power on the system.
CAUTION:
Access Journal operations; otherwise the pairs could be suspended with a failure.
4. When the system is ready to resume copy operations, on the primary storage system, restore
the pairs that have been split.
5. Confirm that the status of the pairs is COPY or PAIR.
To correct errors made when powering off
If a secondary system remains in Suspending status because you powered off while the primary
system was copying data, delete the pair forcibly in both the primary and secondary systems, and
then re-create the pair.

Power off the primary and secondary systems at the same time

The primary system must be powered off before the secondary system is powered off. When you
are ready to power the systems on, the secondary system must be powered on before the primary
system.
The following is the procedure for powering off the primary and secondary systems at the same
time:
1. Split all pairs that will be affected. For example, if two primary systems and one secondary
system are connected to each other and you want to power off one of the primary system and
the secondary system, you must split the pairs on all three systems since they are all affected.
90 Maintaining the system
Wait five (5) minutes after powering on a system before performing Continuous
90).
