If there are no I/Os issued to the GAD pair in question, the GAD pair might not be suspended and remain in the same status as before the failure. The following procedures assume that there are I/Os issued to the GAD pair in question.



The following table lists the pair status (in the upper row) and I/O mode (in the lower row) in phases 1 to 6 of a failure occurrence during data migration.

* The pair status and the I/O mode might be PAIR(Mirror(RL)) depending on the progress of copy operation.

The following procedures are examples of the recovery procedures to continue data migration if failures occur on all devices in a group (such as oraHA00) specified in the configuration definition file.
