  1. Recover from the failure on the storage system.
  2. Verify that the pair status (I/O mode) of the target GAD pair is PSUE(Local) for the P-VOL and COPY(Block) for the S-VOL.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay -g oraH02 -fcxe -IH2
    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
    QM DM P PR
    oraHA02 dev02(L) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)833333 1111.P-VOL PSUE
    NEVER , 55 2222 - - 2 1 - - - L/L - D
    N D
    oraHA02 dev02(R) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)844444 2222.S-VOL COPY
    NEVER ,----- 1111 - - 2 1 - - - B/B - D
    N D
    
  3. Forcibly delete the S-VOL of the target GAD pair by deleting the virtual LDEV ID.
    Command example:
    pairsplit –g oraHA02 –RF –IH3
  4. Forcibly delete the P-VOL of the target GAD pair by leaving the virtual LDEV ID.
    Command example:
    pairsplit –g oraHA02 –SFV –IH2
  5. Verify that the target GAD pair has been deleted.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay –g oraHA02 –fcxe –H2
    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

  6. Verify that the virtual LDEV ID remains for the S-VOL of the temporary GAD pair.
    Command example:
    raidcom get ldev –ldev_id 0x1111 –IH2
    (Omitted)
    LDEV : 1111
    (Omitted)
    
  7. Verify that the GAD reserve attribute is assigned to the virtual LDEV ID of the S-VOL of the target GAD pair.
    Command example:
    raidcom get ldev –ldev_id 0x2222 –IH3
    (Omitted)
    LDEV : 2222
    VIR_LDEV : ffff
    (Omitted)
    
  8. Verify that the host path from the host to the P-VOL of the source GAD pair (the P-VOL of the temporary GAD pair) is online.
  9. Verify that the pair status (I/O mode) for the P-VOL of the temporary GAD pair is PSUE(Local).
    Command example:
    pairdisplay –g oraHA01 –fcxe –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
    QM DM P PR
    oraHA01 dev01(L) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)411111 1111.P-VOL PSUE
    NEVER , 55 1111 - - 1 1 - - - L/L - D
    N D
    oraHA01 dev01(R) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)833333 1111.S-VOL PSUE
    NEVER , 100 1111 - - 1 1 - - - B/B - D
    N D
    
    If the pair status (I/O mode) is PAIR(Mirror(RL)), issue an update I/O to the P-VOL of the temporary GAD pair.
  10. Resynchronize the temporary GAD pair by specifying the P-VOL.
    Command example:
    pairresync –g oraHA01 –IH0
  11. Verify that the pair status of the temporary GAD pair has changed to COPY.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay –g oraHA01 –fcxe –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
    QM DM P PR
    oraHA01 dev01(L) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)411111 1111.P-VOL COPY
    NEVER , 55 1111 - - 1 1 - - - L/M - D
    N D
    oraHA01 dev01(R) (CL1-C-0, 0, 0)833333 1111.S-VOL COPY
    NEVER ,----- 1111 - - 1 1 - - - B/B - D
    N D
    
    The pair status becomes PAIR after the copy operation is complete, however this does not cause any problems.
  12. Continue data migration from the procedure described in Creating a target GAD pair.
