4.10.2 Applications of the Horctakeover Command
The basic Hitachi TrueCopy commands (takeover, pair creation, pair splitting, pair
resynchronization, event waiting) can be combined to enable recovery from a disaster,
backup of paired volumes, and many other operations (e.g., restoration of paired volumes
based on the secondary volume, swapping of the paired volumes). Figure 4.25 illustrates the

horctakeover command. Figure 4.26 illustrates the flow of starting operations on a Windows
serve
r at the secondary site using the horctakeover command.
