Performing Global Copy failback processing for the A volumes

Complete this task to perform Global Copy failback processing for the A volumes. This process resynchronizes the volumes at Site A with volumes at Site B and restarts mirroring from site A (local site) to site B (remote site). This is the sixth step in the failback recovery process.

The failover processing that is described in the fifth step of the failback recovery process must have completed. The failover process converted the full-duplex target volumes at site A to suspended source volumes. The volumes at site A started the change recording process while in failover mode.
The failback processing that is described in this task can be issued against any remote mirror and copy volume that is in a primary suspended state. The failback processing copies the required data from the source volume to the target volume in order to resume mirroring.

Perform the following step to complete failback processing for the A volumes. The example commands in this task are shown in two formats. The first format shows the type of information that is required by the command. The second format provides the command with declared values for the variables.

Issue the failbackpprc command to resynchronize your volumes. Enter the failbackpprc command at the dscli command prompt with the following parameters and variables:

dscli>failbackpprc -dev storage_image_ID -remotedev storage_image_ID
-type gcp SourceVolume_ID:TargetVolume_ID

Example

dscli>failbackpprc -dev IBM.1750–68FA120 -remotedev IBM.1750–68FA150 
-type gcp 1000:1000
Notes:
  1. The -dev parameter specifies the ID of your source storage unit. Your source is the Site A storage unit.
  2. The -remotedev parameter specifies the ID of the target storage unit. The remote storage unit is your Site B storage unit.
  3. The SourceVolume_ID:TargetVolume_ID value has the Site A volume ID as the source and the Site B volume ID as the target.
