Prerequisites for the copy group definition generation function
The following shows the prerequisites for using the copy group definition generation function for PPRC
copy pairs.

Software settings
The following table shows the software setting items for using the copy group definition generation
function for PPRC copy pairs.
Table 13 Software setting items
NotesDescriptionItem
If the status of a PPRC copy pair is SIMPLEX,
no copy group definition file is generated
because the copy pair is not recognized.
Use PPRC to change the status of inner-
DKC asynchronous, synchronous, and
asynchronous copy pairs to an operating
status (the DUPLEX or SUSPOP status).

Copy types and units that can generate configuration files
The following table describes the copy types and units that can generate configuration files.
Table 14 Copy types and units that can generate configuration files
DescriptionUnitCopy type
If you want to divide a copy group up
among the storage systems, divide up
the specified range of device numbers
of the P-VOLs in the PPRC copy pairs that
will be scanned.
All detected copy pairs will be defined in one
configuration file.
Inner-DKC asyn-
chronous copy
pair
Synchronous copy
pair
This is a group based on a function
provided by the storage system for pre-
serving the consistency of volume update
order. Consistency groups can be used
to preserve the update order of volumes
contained within them.
One consistency group will be defined per
configuration file.
