This operation forcibly restores access from the host on a GAD pair that is inaccessible from the host due to failure.

  • If you use the command incorrectly, it might cause serial problems, such as data inconsistency.
  • If you use the command incorrectly or the operation ends abnormally, contact customer support.
For details, see Forcibly changing the I/O mode of GAD pairs for recovery.
