With newer firmware, a horctakeover results in a SSWS state S-VOL so
that a delta copy is all that is required at failback. This functionality is
known as “fast failback” and is accomplished via the –swaps|p option to
pairresync
.
SVOL
SVOL-SSUS takeover or swap-takeover
In case of a host failure, this function will execute
swap-takeover.
In case of an ESCON/FC link or P-VOL site failure,
this function will execute SVOL-SSUS-takeover.
SVOL_E
Execute SVOL-SSUS takeover and return
EX_VOLCUR
SVOL_E*
Return EX_VOLCUR
When the horctakeover command execution succeeds, the state transitions
(
→) to that of the shown line number.
For instance, if the HA control script sees svol_pair at the local volume and
pvol_pair at the remote volume (as in State 16), it performs a
swap-takeover that results in a State 12 situation.
