In this example, the secondary volume of Copy Group_A and Copy Group_B is the primary volume
of Copy Group_C.
If a 3DC multi-target configuration is used
In a 3DC multi-target configuration that uses the delta resync function, the copy group displayed on
the right of the upper line branches to the right, and this copy group is displayed as being connected
to the one on the lower line. In this case, the copy group displayed on the right of the upper line
shares a primary volume with the copy group displayed on the lower line. Additionally, the secondary
volume of the copy group displayed on the left of the upper line is the primary volume of the copy
group displayed on the right of the upper line, and the copy group displayed on the right of the upper
line shares a secondary volume with the copy group displayed on the lower line.
In this example, Copy Group_A and Copy Group_C share a primary volume, the secondary volume
of Copy Group_A is the primary volume of Copy Group_B, and Copy Group_B and Copy
Group_C share a secondary volume.
If a 3DC multi-target configuration further connects to other copy groups
A 3DC multi-target configuration that uses the delta resync function can further connect to other copy
groups that are managed by Business Copy (or Snapshot). In this case, a volume in the 3DC multi-target
configuration is used as the primary volume and the volumes displayed on the right are used as the
secondary volumes. The following three examples illustrate this pattern.
Example (1)
In this example, the secondary volume of Copy Group_C is used as the primary volume of Copy
Group_D, the copy type of which is Business Copy.
