Error
The paircreate or pairresync operation resulted
in a timeout error.
•
Hardware failure: If the timeout error was caused by a hardware
failure, a SIM is generated. If this occurs, call service personnel,
then retry Continuous Access Synchronous operations after the
problem is fixed.
•
Heavy workload: If no SIM was generated, wait 5 or 6 minutes
then check the pair’s status.
- If status changed correctly, the failed operation completed after
the timeout message was issued.
- If the pair status did not change as expected, heavy workload
might have prevented the operation from being completed. Retry
the operation when the system has a lighter workload.
•
A communication error may have occurred between the Remote
Web Console computer and SVP. See the HP XP P9000 Remote
Web Console User Guide for information and instructions.
See
“Pinned track recovery” (page 87)
for more information.
There is a pinned track on a Continuous Access
Synchronous volume.
Because the time setting of SVP is changed, the monitoring data
might not be updated. Disable Monitoring Switch, then enable again.
Monitoring data is not updated though the
Monitoring Switch option is set to Enable.
For more information about Monitoring Switch, see the HP XP P9000
Performance for Open and Mainframe Systems User Guide.
