The following table shows the changes in the pair status before and after a primary site 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) 2 ) COPY (Block) (COPY (Block) 2 )
Source UR pair PAIR PAIR － (PSUE 2 ) PSUE 1,2 or PAIR 1

Notes:

  1. (VSP One B20 series) The pair status depends on the settings of system option modes (SOMs) 448 and 449.

    (VSP One B85) The pair status depends on the settings of advanced system settings No. 5 and No. 6. For VSP 5100 and 5500, the pair status depends on the settings of system option modes (SOMs) 448 and 449.

  2. The status after powering on the source UR primary site.

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 server to continue the I/Os. After that, recover the primary site, and then restore the configuration using the S-VOL data.

The following image illustrates failure recovery when data is being migrated “during migration”.

  1. Specify the S-VOL from the source UR secondary site, and then suspend (swap suspend) the UR pair. 
     pairsplit -g oraUR00 -RS -IH2
  2. Start I/Os from the servers to the storage system at the source UR secondary site.
  3. Remove the failure on the storage system at the source UR primary site.
  4. 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.

  5. Confirm that the source UR pair status has changed to PAIR.
  6. Stop I/Os from the servers to the storage system at the source UR secondary site.
  7. Specify the S-VOL from the source UR primary site, and then suspend (swap suspend) the UR pair. 
    pairsplit -g oraUR00 -RS -IH1
  8. Resume I/Os from the servers to the storage system at the source UR primary site.
  9. 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.

  10. Confirm that the source UR pair status has changed to PAIR.
  11. Specify the P-VOL whose virtual LDEV IDs are set from the source UR primary site, and then forcibly delete the GAD pair. 
    pairsplit -g oraHA00 -SFV -IH1
  12. Specify the S-VOL whose virtual LDEV IDs are deleted from the target UR primary site, and then forcibly delete the GAD pair. 
    pairsplit -g oraHA00 -RF -IH3
  13. Create the GAD pair from the source UR primary site. 
    paircreate -g oraHA00 -f never -vl -jq 0 -IH1
