Explanation
A Global Mirror or Metro Mirror relationship or
consistency group exists with a cluster whose partnership is deleted.
Beginning
with SAN Volume
Controller software version 4.3.1 this configuration is not supported
and should be resolved. This condition can occur as a result of an
update to SAN Volume
Controller software version 4.3.1 or later.
User Response
The issue can be resolved either by deleting all
of the Global Mirror or Metro Mirror relationships or consistency
groups that exist with a cluster whose partnership is deleted, or
by recreating all of the partnerships that they were using.
The
error will automatically fix when the situation is resolved.
- List all of the Global Mirror and Metro Mirror relationships and
note those where the master cluster name or the auxiliary cluster
name is blank. For each of these relationships, also note the cluster
ID of the remote cluster.
- List all of the Global Mirror and Metro Mirror consistency groups
and note those where the master cluster name or the auxiliary cluster
name is blank. For each of these consistency groups, also note the
cluster ID of the remote cluster.
- Determine how many unique remote cluster IDs there are among all
of the Global Mirror and Metro Mirror relationships and consistency
groups that you have identified in the first two steps. For each of
these remote clusters, decide if you want to re-establish the partnership
with that cluster. Ensure that the total number of partnerships that
you want to have with remote clusters does not exceed the cluster
limit. In version 4.3.1 this limit is 1. If you re-establish a partnership,
you will not have to delete the Global Mirror and Metro Mirror relationships
and consistency groups that use the partnership.
- Re-establish any selected partnerships.
- Delete all of the Global Mirror and Metro Mirror relationships
and consistency groups that you listed in either of the first two
steps whose remote cluster partnership has not been re-established.
- Check that the error has been marked as fixed by the system. If
it has not, return to the first step and determine which Global Mirror
or Metro Mirror relationships or consistency groups are still causing
the issue.
