How to Recover From an EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility Data Replication Error

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

1. Use the procedures in the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility documentation to determine the causes of the FAULTED state.

2. Recover from the faulted state by using the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility 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.

3. Revalidate the protection group configuration.

   phys-paris-1# geopg validate protectiongroupname

   protectiongroupname

   Specifies the name of the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility protection group

   If the geopg validate command determines if the configuration is valid, the state of the protection group changes to reflect that fact. If the configuration is not valid, geopg validate returns a failure message.

4. Review the status of the protection group configuration.

   phys-paris-1# geopg list protectiongroupname

   protectiongroupname

   Specifies the name of the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility protection group

5. Review the runtime status of the protection group.

   phys-paris-1# geoadm status
