Viewing sessions

The Copy Services Manager GUI includes icons, images, messages, and other visual and informational aids to help you to determine the status and state of your sessions.

Customizing the session list
The Session page provides a list of created sessions. This list is organized in columns and rows. There is a row for each session and columns for information that is related to that session, such as the session name, status, state, and type. You can customize the session list by filtering information, resizing columns, and sorting rows.
Session status icons
The Copy Services Manager GUI uses icons to represent the status of each session.
Session images
The Copy Services Manager GUI provides a visual aid to help you create and manage your sessions. The visual aid shows the number of volume roles in the session and how the roles are distributed between the sites. It also shows the copy method and direction.
Session states

Role pair status and progress
In a session, a role pair is the association of two volume roles that take part in a copy relationship. Copy Services Manager provides detailed role pair status and progress messages for sessions.
