Overriding failsafe for Remote Copy groups in a failsafe status

The failed (primary) storage system is ready to resume normal operations, but the Status for one or more Remote Copy groups shows Failsafe.

WARNING:

Do not use the override command if the role of the Remote Copy group on the failover storage system is Primary or Primary-rev. Use of the override command when the failover storage system has become active causes data loss because the failover system might have processed I/O. If you cannot determine the role of the storage systems, contact HPE Support.

Prerequisites
  • A Remote Copy group on the failover storage system shows Secondary role.

Procedure
  1. Log in to the failed and recovered (primary) storage system.
  2. If a Remote Copy group has a failsafe status, override failsafe for that group.
     cli% setrcopygroup override <group_name>
    Where:
    • <group_name>—Specifies the name of the Remote Copy group.

  3. If all the Remote Copy groups on the primary storage system have a failsafe status, override failsafe for the system.
    cli% setrcopygroup override <target_name>
    Where:
    • <target_name>—Specifies the name of the secondary (failover) system.

  4. Start each Remote Copy group.
    cli% startrcopygroup <group_name>
