This section explains how to use the Metadevice State Database Information window to view and modify state database replicas.
You must have at least three state database replicas on the system. You should place them on different controllers to eliminate a single point-of-failure.
The maximum number of state database replicas is 50. This also applies to replicas that are part of a diskset.
Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Changing DiskSuite Objects") and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Modifying State Database Replicas With the Metadevice State Database Information Window").
View the Metadevice State Databse Information window.
Drag the MetaDB Object to the canvas then double-click it. The Metadevice State Database Information window appears:
Make desired changes to the state database replicas by clicking or entering the required information. Click Close when done.
Once changes are made, you must commit the MetaDB Object before the changes take effect.
The Configuration Log shows that the MetaDB object was committed.
Table 4-1 lists the functionality associated with the regions of the Metadevice State Database Information window.
