Priority set for initial copy operations and scheduling order For performing more initial copy operations than the setting value of the Maximum Initial Copy Activities set on the System Option dialog box, the scheduling order (Priority) can be set for the initial copy operations to be performed. This section explains the assignment of the scheduling order of initial copy operations in cases where two sets of multiple initial copy operations are performed. An example is described in which 4 Cnt Ac-S Z pairs are created at the same time in cases where the setting value of the Maximum Initial Copy Activities is 2. The Priority which is set for the M-VOLs of Cnt Ac-S Z pairs is shown in the following table. Table 14 Priority set for M-VOLs for which initial copy operation is performed M-VOL LDEV 00 LDEV 01 LDEV 02 LDEV 03 Value set for Priority 2 3 1 4 The order of starting initial copy and the Priority which is set for the M-VOLs are shown in the following table. Table 15 Relationship between order of starting initial copy and priority set for M-VOLs Order of starting initial copy 1 2 3 4 M-VOL LDEV 02 LDEV 00 LDEV 01 LDEV 03 Value set for Priority 1 2 3 4 In this case, as the setting value of the Maximum Initial Copy Activities is 2, initial copy operations for LDEV 02 and LDEV 00 are started. If either one of the initial copy operations for LDEV 02 and LDEV 00 is completed, the initial copy for LDEV 01 is started. The next example explains the assignment of the scheduling order of initial copy operations in cases where initial copy is already performed and two Cnt Ac-S Z pairs are newly added. The M-VOLs of the Cnt Ac-S Z pairs to be newly added and the Priority are shown in the following table. Table 16 Priority set for M-VOLs of Cnt Ac-S Z pairs to be added M-VOL LDEV 10 LDEV 11 Value set for Priority 2 1 If initial copy is already started and if any initial copy is newly added, the additional initial copy is started after the previously performed initial copy is completed. The priority of all the initial copy operations being performed is shown in the following table. Planning volume pairs 33

Priority set for initial copy operations and scheduling order
For performing more initial copy operations than the setting value of the
Maximum Initial Copy
Activities
set on the
System Option
dialog box, the scheduling order (
Priority
) can be set for the
initial copy operations to be performed. This section explains the assignment of the scheduling
order of initial copy operations in cases where two sets of multiple initial copy operations are
performed.
An example is described in which 4 Cnt Ac-S Z pairs are created at the same time in cases where
the setting value of the
Maximum Initial Copy Activities
is 2. The
Priority
which is set for the M-VOLs
of Cnt Ac-S Z pairs is shown in the following table.

LDEV 03
The order of starting initial copy and the
Priority
which is set for the M-VOLs are shown in the
following table.

In this case, as the setting value of the
Maximum Initial Copy Activities
is 2, initial copy operations
for LDEV 02 and LDEV 00 are started. If either one of the initial copy operations for LDEV 02 and
LDEV 00 is completed, the initial copy for LDEV 01 is started.
The next example explains the assignment of the scheduling order of initial copy operations in
cases where initial copy is already performed and two Cnt Ac-S Z pairs are newly added. The
M-VOLs of the Cnt Ac-S Z pairs to be newly added and the
Priority
are shown in the following
table.

If initial copy is already started and if any initial copy is newly added, the additional initial copy
is started after the previously performed initial copy is completed. The priority of all the initial copy
operations being performed is shown in the following table.
