Items
A number (0−127) is assigned to each CTG. You can specify a CTG number
when you create SIz pairs. You can view the ID of the CTGs used as the pair
unit via the CTG window or by using a mainframe host.
CTG number
You can configure up to 128 CTGs in a storage system, including ShadowImage
for Mainframe CTGs and XP Snapshot CTGs.
You can define up to 8,192 SIz pairs in a CTG. Note that SIz pairs,
ShadowImage for Mainframe pairs, and XP Snapshot pairs cannot co-exist in
the same CTG.

The At-Time Split option is enabled, and data in all S-VOLs in the same CTG is created in the
corresponding T-VOLs at the time when the pairsplit request is received by the storage system.
CAUTION:
On executing the At-Time Split function:
•
Change the status of pairs in the same CTG according to the copy group.
•
If you are going to execute the At-Time Split function successively, before you execute the
function for the second time, verify that status of all the pairs in the same CTG is changed to
the status which is specified by the YKEWAIT command. For detailed information about the
YKEWAIT command, see the HP XP for Business Continuity Manager Software Messages.
If you do not follow the above mentioned caution, the data in the S-VOL when the Split operation
is performed by the At-Time Split function may not be copied to the T-VOL.
