When powering off primary arrays
To power off the primary array during remote copy operations, first ensure that all data volume pairs or
mirrors (that is, pairs of journal groups) are split and the status of all data volume pairs is PSUS.
CAUTION:
To power off the primary array, contact your HP account support representative and ask them to power
off the array.
If data volume pairs are split and the primary array is powered off as mentioned above, use the following
procedure to resume remote copy operations:
1.
Power on the primary array.
2.
If the primary array is ready to resume remote copy operations, restore data volume pairs that were
split, and confirm that the status of the data volume pairs is COPY or PAIR. This operation must be
performed at the primary site.
After taking these steps, remote copy operations resume. The primary array can respond to read journal
commands issued by the secondary array.
NOTE:
To power off the primary and secondary arrays at the same time, see
secondary arrays at the same time
NOTE:
If you turn the power off without changing the status of all data volume pairs to PSUS, and then you turn
the power back on, the status of all data volume pairs could be suspended according to a failure
