Quiesce and resume is a mechanism to suspend operations on DASD devices. In the context of a controlled copy pair swap operation, the quiesce operation is usually issued before the actual swap and a resume afterwards. During the swap operation, the underlying device is exchanged. Therefore, the quiesce flag must be moved to the secondary device to ensure a consistent quiesce state after the swap. The secondary device itself cannot be suspended separately because there is no separate block device representation for it.

During online processing for a DASD device an IO operation is started to determine the format of the device. CDL format contains specifically sized blocks at the beginning of the disk. For a PPRC secondary device no real IO operation is possible therefore this IO request can not be started and this step is skipped for online processing of secondary devices. This is generally fine since the secondary is a copy of the primary device. In case of an additional partition detection that is run after a swap operation the format information is needed to properly drive partition detection IO. Currently the information is not passed leading to IO errors during partition detection and a wrongly detected partition table which in turn might lead to data corruption on the disk with the wrong partition table. Fix by passing the format information from primary to secondary device.
