Notes:
1. Pairs are not suspended and do not become inaccessible for:
¢
Failure in hardware used for redundancy in the VSP G1000, such as HDD, cache, CHA, DKA, and
MPB
¢
Failure in redundant physical paths
2. The volume is not accessible if a failure occurs while the S-VOL pair status is COPY, SSUS, or PSUE.
3. The volume is not accessible if a failure occurs while the P-VOL pair status is PSUS or PSUE and the
I/O mode is BLOCK.
4. A failure occurs due to a full pool for a GAD pair.
5. The SIM might not be viewable, depending on the failure (for example, all cache failure, all MP
failure, storage system failure).
