  * The issue here is that the SVC Practice session types (GM    *
  * and MM) put the pairs for the H2-I2 sequence in the reverse  *
  * (or "flipped")  order. The volumes are inserted in the H2-I2 *
  * order in the internal datastore, therefore, places in the    *
  * code that use this data directly show the information        *
  * correctly, but places that go to the pairs will show the     *
  * volumes in the wrong place. This is true for places in the   *
  * code that go to the pair repository. There is code in the    *
  * GUI to account for this behavior, but in this case it was    *
  * not used.                                                    *
  *                                                              *
  * Specifically, with the CopySets page, there was code         *
  * introduced to use the pair repository instead of the table   *
  * to increase performance. The new code didn't take into       *
  * account the "flipped" case in the SVC practice sessions.     *

Problem conclusion

• The role pair information is now properly displayed and the
  correct volume IDs are shown on in the following places:
          a. The Session Copy Sets page
          b. The export CSV file
          c. The session_config_*.log file in the log package
