You are seeing a residual state of DUPLEX. A CQUERY on the secondary device would show the true state. DEVSERV PATH would show a status of PSEC-SUSP. The correct steps after a FREEZE would be 1. Establish paths 2. CESTPAIR with MODE(RESYNC) If you RECOVER the secondary volumes to SIMPLEX you need to do a full copy via MODE(COPY). The time to use FAILBACK is when there has been a FAILOVER to the site 2 disk, for example via HyperSwap (with SUSPEND). In this case the status of the secondary devices displayed by devserv path would be PPRI-SUSP and FAILBACK rather than MODE(RESYNC) would be used to resynchronize the changed tracks.
