6 Monitoring and maintaining Business Copy Z
This chapter provides information and instructions to monitor and maintain the BC Z system.
Monitoring the Business Copy Z system
Monitor the BC Z system on an ongoing basis to keep track of pairs and volumes and their current
and past conditions.
You can monitor the system in the following ways:
• “Viewing pair information for local replication” (page 64).
• “Monitoring BC Z pair activity and status” (page 65). This includes the status definitions and
the user tasks that you can complete based on the status.
• “Monitoring BC Z pair, volume details” (page 69).
• “Monitoring BC Z pair synchronous rates” (page 70).
• “Monitoring consistency groups” (page 72).
• “Monitoring pair user task history” (page 75).
Viewing pair information for local replication
After you have deleted the pairs, the summary section of the Local Replication window shows the
number of pairs and other information.
You can view pair information for local replication in the Replication window and in the summary
section of the Local Replication window. These windows show information such as the number of
pairs in the storage system.
NOTE: If the information in the summary section is not up to date, the system has not completed
processing the information. Click the Refresh View icon to refresh the information in the window.
The Replica LDEVs tab shows a list of LDEVs. From this window, you can complete the following:
• Click the LDEV ID for a specific replica LDEV and open the LDEV Properties window.
• View information for a list of replica LDEVs for the selected LDEV.
