Interrupting remote copy mode and enabling the target path

Remote copy mode must be interrupted because the local storage system must remain ready for operation during the test. In order to have consistent data for the test, a synchronization point should be created beforehand. It can also make sense to rename the pubset concerned.

Actions in the local system

1. Check whether the source and target units are synchronized.

   Global check: SYNCH field displays 100%

   
   

   /SHOW-REMOTE-COPY-STATUS UNIT=F300,INFORMATION=*SUMMARY 
   
    %  --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    %  SRC   TAR   VOLUME!REMOTE-COPY  TARGET!LAST-STA-CHNG!LINK  !SYNC!SRC!CON!CAS 
    %  UNIT  UNIT        !STATE   MODE ACCESS!DDDD.HH:MM:SS!      !    !-RA!R-C!R-C 
    %  =========================================================================== 
    %   F300  F886 ET01.0!ACTIVE  SYNC BY-SRC!      -      !AVAIL.!100%! - !NO ! -
   

2. Interrupt remote copy mode (optionally with integrated pubset renaming), e.g. /HOLD-REMOTE-COPY.
   

   
   

   /SHOW-REMOTE-COPY-STATUS UNIT=F300,INFORMATION=*SUMMARY
   
    %  --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    %  SRC   TAR   VOLUME!REMOTE-COPY  TARGET!LAST-STA-CHNG!LINK  !SYNC!SRC!CON!CAS 
    %  UNIT  UNIT        !STATE   MODE ACCESS!DDDD.HH:MM:SS!      !    !-RA!R-C!R-C 
    %  =========================================================================== 
    %   F300  F886 ET01.0!IN-HOLD SYNC DIRECT!      -      !AVAIL.! 99%! - !NO ! -
   

Actions on the standby system

None

The target unit is activated automatically by /HOLD-REMOTE-COPY, i.e. the target units are in the READY status.
