Use the Viewing General Details panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
view detailed information about a consistency group.
Attributes
The
following attributes are displayed in the table:
- ID
- Displays the system-assigned ID for the consistency group.
- Name
- Displays the name of the consistency group.
- State
- Displays the state of the consistency group. The following states
are possible:
- Inconsistent stopped
- Indicates that the primary VDisk is accessible for read and write
operations, but the secondary VDisk is not accessible. A copy process
must be started to make the secondary VDisk consistent. If all the
VDisks are online, you can issue a Start command
to start or restart the copy process.
- Inconsistent copying
- Indicates that the primary VDisk is accessible for read and write
operations, but the secondary VDisk is not accessible. This state
is occurs after you issue a Start command to a consistency
group in the InconsistentStopped state. This state is also entered
after you issue a Start command with the
force option to a consistency group in the Idling or ConsistentStopped
state.
- Consistent stopped
- Indicates that the secondary VDisk contains a consistent image,
but it might be out of date with respect to the primary VDisk. This
state occurs if a relationship is in the ConsistentSynchronized state
and experiences an error that forces a freeze of the consistency group.
This state can also occur if a relationship is created with the CreateConsistentFlag
set to TRUE. If all the VDisks are online,
you can issue a Start command to start or
restart the copy process.
- Consistent synchronized
- Indicates that the primary VDisk is accessible for read and write
operations. The secondary VDisk is accessible for read-only I/O operations.
- Idling
- Indicates that the master VDisks and Auxiliary VDisks are operating
in the primary role. Both VDisks are accessible for write operations.
- Idling disconnected
- Indicates that the VDisks in this half of the consistency group
are all operating in the primary role and can accept read or write
operations.
- Inconsistent disconnected
- Indicates that the VDisks in this half of the consistency group
are all operating in the secondary role and will not accept read or
write operations.
- Consistent disconnected
- Indicates that the VDisks in this half of the consistency group
are all operating in the secondary role and will accept read I/O operations
but cannot accept write operations.
- Empty
- Indicates that the consistency group contains no Metro
Mirror or Global Mirror relationships.
- Copy Type
- Displays the copy type of the relationship. The following types
are possible:
- Master Cluster ID
- Displays the system-assigned ID for the master cluster.
- Master Cluster Name
- Displays the name of the master cluster.
- Auxiliary Cluster ID
- Displays the system-assigned ID for the auxiliary cluster.
- Auxiliary Cluster Name
- Displays the name of the auxiliary cluster.
- Primary
- Displays the direction of the copy. The following values are possible:
- Master
- Indicates that data is copied from the master virtual disks (VDisks)
to the auxiliary VDisks.
- Auxiliary
- Indicates that data is copied from the auxiliary VDisks to the
master VDisks.
- N/A
- Not applicable
- Number of Relationships
- Displays the number of relationships that are contained in the
consistency group.
- Freeze Time
- Displays the time when the consistency group was frozen. The time
is in the YY/MM/DD/HH/MM format.
- Consistency Group Availability
- Displays the state of the consistency group. The following values
are valid:
- Online
- Indicates that all primary and secondary VDisks are online and
no errors are seen.
- Primary Offline
- Indicates that at least one of the primary VDisks within the group
is offline.
- Secondary Offline
- Indicates that at least one of the secondary VDisks within the
group is offline.
