Creating pairs and pair groups
To define copy pair configurations, you should first register a new pair group and define a list of
volume pairs to assign to the pair groups. Pair groups can be created on the 2. Pair Association page
of the Pair Configuration Wizard.
TIP:
If you need to stop the wizard before the copy pair configuration definition is completed, it can be
temporarily saved as a workflow. For more information, see “Saving workflows” on page 181.
To create pairs and pair groups:
1. Display the information about the host or subsystem on which you want to create a copy pair.
