When the same number of quorum disks as the remote connections are used, only GAD pair that uses the failed remote connection, a quorum disk or a path to the quorum disk, is suspended.
The GAD pair that uses the normal remote connection, quorum disk and path to the quorum disk, can keep the status being mirrored. The following figure shows the relationship between the failure locations and the GAD pair suspended by the failure.
