When using GAD pairs, you should know how to properly power on the external storage system when server I/O continues to the GAD storage system.

  1. Power on the external storage system.
  2. Confirm that the primary and secondary storage systems and the external storage system for the quorum disk do not have any blocked parts.

    If any parts are blocked, recover them.

  3. Check for SIMs about path blockage, and complete the SIMs.
  4. On the primary and GAD secondary storage systems, establish the connections to the quorum disks.

    Command example: raidcom check_ext_storage external_grp -ldev_id 0x8888 -IH1

  5. Confirm that the external storage system is connected correctly.
    raidcom get path -path_grp 1 -IH1

  6. On the primary and GAD secondary storage systems, confirm that the connections to the quorum disks have been established.

    Command example: raidcom get external_grp -external_grp_id 1-2 -IH1

  7. Confirm that the external volumes of the primary and GAD secondary storage systems are recognized as quorum disks.

    Command example: raidcom get ldev -ldev_id 0x8888 -IH1

  8. On the primary and GAD secondary storage systems, check for SIMs about quorum disk blockade, and complete the SIMs.
