Recovering Remote Copy groups in a failsafe status

In this example, the failed and recovered storage system is the primary system. One or more Remote Copy groups on the primary system show a failsafe status. The failover storage system is the secondary system.

WARNING:

Do not perform an override or any recovery action until you determine the roles of the Remote Copy groups in a failsafe status.

Prerequisites

Both storage systems are ready to resume normal operations.

Procedure

Log into the failover (secondary) system.
For each Remote Copy group in a failsafe status, determine the role of those groups on the failover system.
```
cli% showrcopy
```
- If the Role of the Remote Copy group on the failover storage system is Secondary, perform Overriding failsafe for Remote Copy groups in a failsafe status for that Remote Copy group.
- If the Role of the Remote Copy group on the failover storage system is Primary or Primary_Rev, DO NOT perform an override. Go to the next step.
For each Remote Copy group in a failsafe status, determine the auto_synchronize policy for the group.
- If the Remote Copy group Policy shows auto_synchronize, perform Recovering Remote Copy groups in a failsafe state with auto_synchronize on.
- If the Remote Copy group Policy does not show auto_synchronize, perform Recovering Remote Copy groups in a failsafe state with auto_synchronize off.
