This topic provides information and instructions for monitoring and maintaining the FS system.
Monitoring pair information
You can monitor pair information in the following ways:
• “Viewing the number of pairs and a list of pairs” (page 51).
• “Monitoring pair properties” (page 51).
• “Monitoring synchronous rates” (page 52).
Viewing the number of pairs and a list of pairs
1. In the Storage Systems tree, click Replications > Local Replications.
2. View the number of pairs and a list of pairs.
Pair status definitions
When checking the pair status, click Refresh View to ensure the data is current.

SSUS for S-VOLs
RCPYRead/write
