A source UR P-VOL failure that occurs when data is being migrated "during migration"

The table below shows the changes in the pair status before and after a failure.
Pair type Pair status before failure Pair status after failure
P-VOL S-VOL P-VOL S-VOL
GAD pair COPY (Local) COPY (Block) PSUE (Local) PSUE (Block)
Source UR pair PAIR PAIR PSUE PSUE

When recovering from this failure, you must perform the pair operations so that the S-VOL at the source UR secondary site can accept I/Os from the servers to continue the I/Os. Restore the configuration using the S-VOL data after the target pair is restored.

The following recovery procedures assume that one volume failure occurs in the journal that configures multiple pairs.

  1. Stop I/Os from the servers to the journal to which the failed pair belongs on the source UR primary storage system.
  2. Specify the S-VOL from the source UR secondary site, and then suspend (swap suspend) the UR pair.
    pairsplit -g oraUR00 -RS -IH2
  3. Resume I/Os from the servers to the storage system at the source UR secondary site.
  4. Delete the UR pair on which the P-VOL failure occurred at the source UR primary site.
    pairsplit -g oraUR00 -d dev00 -S -IH1
  5. Delete the GAD pair on which the P-VOL failure occurred at the source UR primary site by specifying the P-VOL.
    pairsplit -g oraHA00 -d dev00 -S -IH1
  6. Remove the P-VOL failure at the source UR primary site, and then recover the P-VOL (Format the P-VOL if the formatting is required for recovery).
  7. Specify the P-VOL, and then suspend the GAD pair sharing the same volumes with a UR pair that uses the journal to which the failed UR pair belongs.
    pairsplit -g oraHA00 -IH1
  8. Specify the S-VOL from the source UR secondary site, and then resynchronize (swap resync) the UR pair.
    pairresync -g oraUR00 -swaps -IH2
    The volume of the source UR pair at the primary site has changed to the S-VOL and the volume at the secondary site has changed to P-VOL.
  9. From the source UR secondary site, create a UR pair that uses the volume recovered from the failure.
    paircreate -g oraUR00 -d dev00 -f async -vl -jp 0 -js 0 -IH2
  10. Confirm that the source UR pair status has changed to PAIR.
  11. Stop I/Os from the servers to the storage system at the source UR secondary site.
  12. Specify the S-VOL from the source UR primary site, and then suspend (swap suspend) the UR pair.
    pairsplit -g oraUR00 -RS -IH1
  13. Resume I/Os from the servers to the storage system at the source UR primary site.
  14. Specify the S-VOL from the source UR primary site, and then resynchronize (swap resync) the UR pair.
    pairresync -g oraUR00 -swaps -IH1

    The volume of the source UR pair at the primary site has changed to the P-VOL and the volume at the secondary site has changed to S-VOL.

  15. Confirm that the source UR pair status has changed to PAIR.
  16. Resynchronize the GAD pair from the source UR primary site.
    pairresync -g oraHA00 -IH1
  17. Create a GAD pair that uses the volume recovered from the failure.
    paircreate -g oraHA00 -d dev10 -f never -vl -jp 0 -IH1
