(1) In cross-site mirroring, the configuration state of the mirror copy that does not attempt to perform geographic mirroring when the independent disk pool is available. The mirror copy state is suspended when it is not resuming or active.
(2) A state in which only one of the devices in a dual-copy or remote-copy volume pair is being updated as a result of a permanent error condition or an authorized user command. All writes to the remaining functional device are logged. Suspended state allows for automatic resynchronization of both volumes when the volume pair is reset to the active duplex state.
