You can view information for Mirror partnerships.
This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Perform the following steps to view information for Metro
Mirror or Global Mirror partnerships:
- Click in
the portfolio. The Mirror Cluster Partnership panel is displayed. The following information is displayed for the
cluster partnerships:
- Cluster Name
- Displays the name of the selected cluster.
- IP address (IPv4)
- Displays the IPv4 IP address of the local or remote partner cluster.
- IP address (IPv6)
- Displays the IPv6 IP address of the local or remote partner cluster.
- State
- Displays the current state of the partnership. The following values
are possible:
- Partially Configured
- Indicates that only one cluster partner is defined from a local
or remote cluster to the displayed cluster and is started. For the
displayed cluster to be configured fully and to complete the partnership,
you must define the cluster partnership from the cluster that is displayed
to the corresponding local or remote cluster. You can do this by issuing
the mkpartnership command on the local and remote cluster that
are in the partnership, or by using the SAN Volume Controller Console to
create a partnership on both the local and remote clusters.
- Fully Configured
- Indicates that the partnership is defined on the local and remote
clusters and is started.
- Remote Not Present
- Indicates that the remote cluster is not present to the partnership.
- Partially Configured (Local Stopped)
- Indicates that the local cluster is only defined to remote cluster
and the local cluster is stopped.
- Fully Configured (Local Stopped)
- Indicates that a partnership is defined on both the local and
remote clusters and the remote cluster is present, but the local cluster
is stopped.
- Fully Configured (Remote Stopped)
- Indicates that a partnership is defined on both the local and
remote clusters and the remote cluster is present, but the remote
cluster is stopped.
- Fully Configured (Local Excluded)
- Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote
cluster; however, the local cluster has been excluded. Usually this
state occurs when the fabric link between the two clusters has been
compromised by too many fabric errors or slow response times of the
cluster partnership. Check the error log for 1720 errors by selecting to resolve these errors.
- Fully Configured (Remote Excluded)
- Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote
cluster; however, the remote cluster has been excluded. Usually this
state occurs when the fabric link between the two clusters has been
compromised by too many fabric errors or slow response times of the
cluster partnership. Check the error log for 1720 errors by selecting to resolve these errors.
- Fully Configured (Remote Exceeded)
- Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote
cluster and the remote is available; however, the remote cluster exceeds
the number of allowed clusters within a cluster network. The maximum
of four clusters can be defined in a network. If the number of clusters
exceeds that limit, SAN Volume Controller determines
the inactive cluster or clusters by sorting all the clusters by their
unique identifier in numerical order. The inactive cluster partner
which is not in the top four of the cluster unique identifiers displays Fully
Configured (Remote Exceeded).
- Bandwidth (MBps)
- Displays the bandwidth that was specified, shown in megabytes
per second (MBps).
