Hitachi G200 - Monitoring Pair Status, License Capacity

Monitoring pair status, license capacity
Monitoring the TrueCopy system is an ongoing operation that should be
performed frequently to keep track of and maintain your pairs.
• When you want to perform a pair operation, first check the pair's status.
Each operation requires a specific status or set of statuses.
• Pair status changes when an operation is performed. Check status to see
that pairs are operating correctly and that data is updated from P-VOLs to
S-VOLs in PAIR status, or that differential data management is performed
in Split status.
Monitoring using the GUI is done manually. Monitoring should be repeated
frequently. Email notifications of problems can be set up using the GUI.
