How to Recover From an Oracle Solaris ZFS snapshot Remote Replication Error

To recover from an error state, you might perform some or all of the steps in the following procedure.

  1. Check the status of the replication status resource to determine whether the data replication has experienced an error.

    The status message of the resource indicates why the resource reported the Faulted status. The status values table shown in Figure 4, Table 4, Status and Status Messages of an Online Oracle Solaris ZFS snapshot Replication Status Resource Group will also help to understand the error. Fix the errors according to the reason cited in the message.

    If required, check the resource log, console and syslog messages, and trace log for more information about the errors. For more information, see Debugging an Oracle Solaris ZFS Snapshot Protection Group.

  2. Revalidate the protection group configuration.
    paris-node-1# geopg validate protection-group
    • If the geopg validate command determines that the configuration is valid, the state of the protection group changes to reflect that fact.

    • If the configuration is not valid, the geopg validate command will fix any internal replication infrastructure issues like resource group affinities and resource properties that are automatically managed by the replication setup software. In case of any failures in such attempt, or if there are issues with the replication infrastructure prerequisites that should be fixed manually, the command returns a failure message citing the problem.

  3. Review the protection group configuration.
    paris-node-1# geopg show protection-group
  4. Review the configuration status and runtime status of the protection group.
    paris-node-1# geoadm status
