Table 1-4
Running status of a remote replication pair
Running Status
Description
Normal
Data synchronization between the primary and secondary LUNs is
complete.
NOTE
If
Initial Synchronization
is set to
The data on primary and secondary
resources is consistent and data synchronization is not required.
, a newly
created remote replication pair is in the
Normal
state.
Split
Data replication between the primary and secondary LUNs is
suspended. The running status of a pair changes to
Split
after the
primary and secondary LUNs are manually split by an administrator.
Interrupted
The running status of a pair changes to
Interrupted
after the pair
between the primary and secondary LUNs is interrupted. This occurs
when the links used by a remote replication task are down or either
LUN fails.
To be recovered
If a remote replication task requires restoration using a
Manual
policy following recovery from the
Interrupted
state, the pair
running status changes to
To be recovered
. This state is a notice to
begin manual synchronization to restore the pair between the original
primary and secondary LUNs.
Invalid
If the original properties of a primary or secondary LUN change
while a pair is
Interrupted
, the pair running status changes to
Invalid
because the primary and secondary system configurations
become inconsistent.
Synchronizing
Data is being copied from the primary to the secondary LUN. In this
state, data on the secondary LUN is unavailable and cannot be used
for service recovery if a disaster occurs. Only
Consistent
LUNs can
be used to recover services.
Consistency Group
A consistency group is a collection of pairs that have a service relationship with each other.
For example, the primary storage system has three primary LUNs, which respectively store
service data, log, and change tracking information of a database. If data on any of the three
LUNs becomes invalid, all data on the three LUNs becomes unusable. For these LUNs, you
can create a consistency group, and add the remote replication sessions of the LUNs to the
consistency group.
Synchronization
Synchronization is a process of copying data from the primary to a secondary LUN.
Synchronization can be performed for a single remote replication session or for multiple
remote replication sessions in a consistency group at the same time.
Synchronization of a remote replication pair involves initial synchronization and incremental
synchronization.
