Resynchronizing a Sun ZFS Storage Appliance Protection Group

You can resynchronize the configuration information of the local protection group with the configuration information that is retrieved from the partner cluster. You need to resynchronize a protection group when its Synchronization status in the output of the geoadm status command is Error.

For example, you might need to resynchronize protection groups after booting the cluster. For more information, see Booting a Cluster in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.

Resynchronizing a protection group updates only entities that are related to Geographic Edition software.

How to Resynchronize a Sun ZFS Storage Appliance Protection Group

Before You Begin

The protection group must be deactivated on the cluster where you are running the geopg update command. For information about deactivating a protection group, see Activating and Deactivating a Sun ZFS Storage Appliance Protection Group.

1. Assume the root role or assume a role that is assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile.

   For more information about RBAC, see Geographic Edition Software and RBAC in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.

   ---

   Note - If you use a role with Geo Management RBAC rights, ensure that the /var/cluster/geo ACLs are correct on each node of both partner clusters. If necessary, assume the root role on the cluster node and set the correct ACLs.

   # chmod A+user:username:rwx:allow /var/cluster/geo

   The /var/cluster/geo directory must have the correct access control lists (ACL) applied for compatibility between the Geo Management RBAC rights profile and Sun ZFS Storage Appliance software.

2. Resynchronize the protection group.

   # geopg update pg-name

   pg-name

   Specifies the name of the protection group.

   This command synchronizes the local Geographic Edition protection group configuration information on the local cluster with the protection group configuration information retrieved from the partner cluster.
