When an error occurs at the data replication level, the error is reflected in the status of the resource in the replication resource group of the relevant device group.
This section provides the following information:
For information about how different Resource status values map to actual replication pair states, see Table 2–6.
You can check the status of the replication resources by using the clresource command as follows:
phys-paris-1# clresource status -v |
Running the clresource status command might return the following:
=== Cluster Resources === Resource Name de Name State Status Message ------------- --------- ----- -------------- r-tc-tcpg1-devgroup1 phys-paris-2 Offline Offline phys-paris-1 Online Faulted - P-VOL:PSUE hasp4nfs phys-paris-2 Offline Offline phys-paris-1 Offline Offline |
The aggregate resource status for all device groups in the protection group is provided by using the geoadm status command. For example, the output of the clresource status command in the preceding example indicates that the Hitachi TrueCopy device group, devgroup1, is in the PSUE state on cluster-paris. Table 2–6 indicates that the PSUE state corresponds to a resource status of FAULTED. So, the data replication state of the protection group is also FAULTED. This state is reflected in the output of the geoadm status command, which displays the state of the protection group as Error.
phys-paris-1# geoadm status Cluster: cluster-paris Partnership "paris-newyork-ps" : OK Partner clusters : cluster-newyork Synchronization : OK ICRM Connection : OK Heartbeat "paris-to-newyork" monitoring "cluster-newyork": OK Heartbeat plug-in "ping_plugin" : Inactive Heartbeat plug-in "tcp_udp_plugin" : OK Protection group "tcpg" : Error Partnership : paris-newyork-ps Synchronization : OK Cluster cluster-paris : Error Role : Primary PG activation state : Activated Configuration : OK Data replication : Error Resource groups : OK Cluster cluster-newyork : Error Role : Secondary PG activation state : Activated Configuration : OK Data replication : Error Resource groups : OK Pending Operations Protection Group : "tcpg" Operations : start |
To recover from an error state, you might perform some or all of the steps in the following procedure.
Use the procedures in the Hitachi TrueCopy documentation to determine the causes of the FAULTED state. This state is indicated as PSUE.
Recover from the faulted state by using the Hitachi TrueCopy procedures.
If the recovery procedures change the state of the device group, this state is automatically detected by the resource and is reported as a new protection group state.
Revalidate the protection group configuration.
phys-paris-1# geopg validate protectiongroupname |
Specifies the name of the Hitachi TrueCopy protection group
Review the status of the protection group configuration.
phys-paris-1# geopg list protectiongroupname |
Specifies the name of the Hitachi TrueCopy protection group
Review the runtime status of the protection group.
phys-paris-1# geoadm status |
