GLYPH<SM590000> Step 2: GLYPH<SM590000> Step 3: b. When an MM/GM relationship is started in the  InconsistentStopped  state, the MM/GM  relationship enters the  InconsistentCopying  state while the background copy is  started.  a. When an MM/GM relationship is started in the  ConsistentStopped  state, the MM/GM  relationship enters the  ConsistentSynchronized  state. Therefore, no updates (write  I/O) were performed on the master volume while in the  ConsistentStopped  state.  Otherwise, the  -force  option must be specified, and the MM/GM relationship then  enters the  InconsistentCopying  state while the background copy is started. GLYPH<SM590000> Step 4: a. When a MM/GM relationship is stopped in the  ConsistentSynchronized  state, the  MM/GM relationship enters the  Idling  state when you specify the  -access  option,  which enables write I/O on the auxiliary volume. b. When an MM/GM relationship is stopped in the  ConsistentSynchronized  state without  an  -access  parameter, the auxiliary volumes remain read-only and the state of the  relationship changes to  ConsistentStopped . c. To enable write I/O on the auxiliary volume, when the MM/GM relationship is in the  ConsistentStopped  state, issue the  svctask stoprcrelationship  command, which  specifies the  -access  option, and the MM/GM relationship enters the  Idling  state. GLYPH<SM590000> Step 5: a. When an MM/GM relationship is started from the  Idling  state, you must specify the  -primary  argument to set the copy direction. If no write I/O was performed (to the  master or auxiliary volume) while in the  Idling  state, the MM/GM relationship enters  the  ConsistentSynchronized  state. b. If write I/O was performed to the master or auxiliary volume, the  -force  option must be  specified and the MM/GM relationship then enters the  InconsistentCopying  state  while the background copy is started. The background process copies only the data  that changed on the primary volume while the relationship was stopped. Stop on Error When a MM/GM relationship is stopped (intentionally, or because of an error), the state  changes. For example, the MM/GM relationships in the  ConsistentSynchronized  state enter  the  ConsistentStopped  state, and the MM/GM relationships in the  InconsistentCopying  state  enter the  InconsistentStopped  state. If the connection is broken between the two systems that are in a partnership, all (intercluster)  MM/GM relationships enter a  Disconnected  state. For more information, see “Connected  versus disconnected” on page 536. Common states:  Stand-alone relationships and Consistency Groups share a common  configuration and state model. All MM/GM relationships in a Consistency Group have the  same state as the Consistency Group. The following sections provide an overview of the various MM/GM states. State overview Chapter 11. Advanced Copy Services  535 When the background copy completes, the MM/GM relationship changes from the  InconsistentCopying  state to the  ConsistentSynchronized  state.
