HP XP7 Continuous Access Synchronous for Mainframe Systems User Guide (TK911-96003)

• Cnt Ac-S Z does not allow access to an S-VOL while the pair is split (when mode20=ON,
Read access is accepted).
• When a pair is split, whether user requested or due to failure, the primary system generates
sense information to notify the hosts. If the host system supports IBM PPRC (and the “PPRC
support by host” CU option is enabled), this notification results in an IEA494I and/or IEA491E
system console message, which indicates the reason for suspension.
Monitoring Cnt Ac-S Z pair synchronous rate
You can check on the percentage of synchronized data between the P-VOL and S-VOL.
Procedure 17 To check a pair’s synchronous rate
1. In the Storage Systems tree, click Replication > Remote Replication.
2. Click the Cnt Ac-S Pairs tab, then select the pair whose rate you want to display.
3. Click Actions > Remote Replications > View Pair Synchronous Rate.
Clicking Refresh displays the latest synchronous rate.
Monitoring Cnt Ac-S Z operations history
You can review a pair’s history of operations, including the operation’s description, date and time
it took place, primary and secondary system information, and other details.
Procedure 18 To view a pair’s operation history
1. In the Storage Systems tree, click Replication.
2. Click View Histories > Remote Replication.
3. In the Histories window, for Copy Type, click Cnt Ac-S Z.
