You can recover from a quorum disk failure when sharing GAD volumes with UR in a GAD 3DC delta resync (GAD+UR) configuration.

You can use a volume in an external storage system or a drive in a server for the quorum disk. Procedures are based on the assumption that a volume in an external storage system is used as the quorum disk and depend on either of the following statuses:

  • Able to access either volume of the GAD pair from the server
  • Not able to access either volume of the GAD pair from the server

To check whether you can access the volumes of a GAD pair from the server, use I/O mode for the GAD pair.

Command example

pairdisplay -g oraHA -fxce -IH0
Group   PairVol(L/R) (Port#,TID, LU),Seq#,LDEV#.P/S,Status,
Fence,   %,P-LDEV# M CTG JID AP EM       E-Seq# E-LDEV# R/W
oraHA   dev1(L)     (CL1-A-0, 0,   0)811111  2222.S-VOL PSUS 
NEVER ,  100  4444 -   -   0  -  -            -       - L/L
oraHA   dev1(R)     (CL1-C-0, 0,   0)822222  4444.P-VOL PAIR 
NEVER ,  100  2222 -   -   0  -  -            -       - B/B

The server can access a volume whose I/O mode (R/W) is L/L (Local), and cannot access a volume whose I/O mode (R/W) is B/B (Block).
