* If the host has more write I/Os in COPY state, then host write I/Os are delayed until there is enough
space in the sidefile.
Legend:
Bitmap: Host write data is managed via a cylinder BITMAP of delta data.
Normal: Host write data is not managed by BITMAP or sidefile.
Usual: Host side writing response is not delayed.
HWM (High Water Mark): Sidefile quantity is over 30% of cache storage.
TrueCopy Async/Universal Replicator error state
In the case of an ESCON or fibre-channel (FC) failure, the S-VOL FIFO queue
is missing a data block that was transferred from the P-VOL FIFO queue. The
RCU waits to store the next sequenced data block in the S-VOL FIFO queue
until the TrueCopy Async copy pending timeout occurs (defined using
TrueCopy). In addition, the timeout value can be specified at Device Manager
- Storage Navigator. The default value is set to 5 minutes. If the timeout
occurs during this waiting state, the pair status changes from PAIR to PSUE,
and non-sequenced data blocks are managed by the S-VOL bitmap. The
missing data block can be recovered using the pairresync command, which
merges the S-VOL bitmap with the P-VOL bitmap.
Figure 6-11 TrueCopy
Async suspension condition on page 6-30 shows this situation on the
secondary side.
