Recovering from Disaster for 1-to-N Configurations

Follow these failover and recovery guidelines to recover from system failure.

Failover for 1-to-N Configurations

1.

Reverse the role of all volume groups on the system that is still in normal operation (the failover
system). On the failover system (System2), issue the following command:

# setrcopygroup failover -t

where represents the name of the target system that failed (System1).

The setrcopygroup failover -t command:

Changes all secondary volume groups on the failover system (periodic_group_1.r96
on System2) to primary volume groups, and therefore reverses the direction of data
replication

Enables I/O to the reversed volume groups (periodic_group_1.r96)

NOTE:

If you do not want to perform disaster recovery operations on all volume groups on

a system, you can use all of the disaster recovery commands on one or more specified volume
groups. For more information, see the description of each command in

“About the Remote-Copy

Commands” (page 261)
