4.

Verify that the volume groups are started. On the recovered system (SystemA), enter:

# showrcopy groups

- Volume group that should be started (for example, multi.1)

Solution

Problem

If the volume groups are not started:

1.

On the recovered system, issue:

startrcopygroup

or:

startrcopygroup -pat

• -pat - Pattern of volume group names (for example,

multi*)

2.

Wait for the synchronizations to complete before continuing.

CAUTION:

The volume groups must be started before you continue to the next step and issue

the setrcopygroup restore command.

5.

Restore the natural direction of data flow to the Remote Copy system. On the failover system
(SystemC), enter:

# setrcopygroup restore -f -t

- Name of the target (recovered) system (SystemA)

The setrcopygroup restore command:

Starts tasks for each group that was recovered

Starts a final synchronization from the asynchronous periodic backup system (SystemC)
to both the synchronous backup system (SystemB) and the primary system (SystemA) to
ensure that the systems have the most recent data

Stops the volume groups

Switches the secondary volume groups on the primary system (SystemA) to primary volume
groups

Switches the primary volume groups on the asynchronous periodic backup system
(SystemC) to secondary volume groups

Returns the primary system (SystemA) to the role of primary system

Starts Remote Copy on the primary system (SystemA)

For example, the list of tasks on the synchronous backup system (SystemC) looks like:

# setrcopygroup restore -f -t SystemA

root@xnodeed08:~/bin# waittask -v 6754
