[Execution Conditions]
To perform Restore, the following conditions must be satisfied.
(i) The target MV and RV are paired.
(ii) The target MV or RV has been registered in the volume list.
(iii) The volume list is not being created or updated.
(iv) Both MV and RV are unmounted from the system.
(v) The disk array where the specified MV and RV are stored is not in the Freeze state.
(vi) The Activity State of the target pair is Separate. However, Separate is not being executed.
(vii) When the specified MV is used as the base-volume (BV) of the snapshot function, snapshot is not
be established for all the snapshot-volumes (SV) paired with the base-volume.
(viii) The pair of the specified MV and the paired RV is not in the Separate state.
(ix) The Activity State of the pair of the specified MV and the paired upper MV is Separate.
(x) The Activity State of the pair of the specified RV and the paired lower RV is Separate.
(xi) The Semi-synchronous Copy mode cannot be specified for paired volumes set in the same disk
array. The Semi-synchronous Copy mode can be specified only for paired volumes set in
different disk arrays.
(xii) Specifying a volume of a dynamic disk or a GPT-format partition disk is not allowed (Windows
only).
(xiii) The iSM dedicated special file is not being created (HP-UX version UNIX only).
(xiv) When an LVM volume group or a VxVM disk group is specified, the target volume group or disk
group must be active (UNIX only).
(xv) When specifying the combination of an LVM volume group or a VxVM disk group with a special
file name (logical disk name), you must specify the same number of logical volumes that make up
the volume group or disk group as MV (RV) on the special file name (logical disk name) side.
In this case, Restoration is performed in specified sequential order (UNIX only).
The above execution conditions (ii), (iii), (xii), (xiii), (xiv), and (xv) are not applicable when conducting
a joint operation with the iSM (replication management).
