ANTP0103I
ESTAB. PAIR FAILED- DEVICES NOT IN SIMPLEX MODE

Explanation

The primary and secondary volumes specified with the CESTPAIR MODE(COPY) or MODE(NOCOPY) command cannot be established when either of the following conditions exist:
  • The specified primary and secondary devices are not in SIMPLEX state.
  • The primary device is in SUSPEND state but the secondary device is in SIMPLEX state.
  • The primary device or secondary device, or both, are in SUSPEND state but the devices are not part of the same PPRC volume pair.

System action

The command is rejected.

System programmer response

Issue the CQUERY command to verify the status of each device. Determine whether the specified primary device and secondary device correspond to the same volume pair specification. Then determine which of the following actions to perform next:
  • If the volume pair is active (PENDING or DUPLEX state), no action is required.
  • If the device specification of the specified primary and secondary devices matches that of the primary and secondary device of an established PPRC volume pair in SUSPEND state, reissue the CESTPAIR command with MODE(RESYNC).
  • If one or both devices are already part of a PPRC volume pair with a different device, select a new device and reissue the CESTPAIR command with the corrected device specification and MODE(COPY) or MODE(NOCOPY) parameter.
