Configuring your Environment for Software RAID

Configuring the Package Control Script and RAID Configuration File

	For example, let us assume that the data storage links in Figure 1-4
	fail before the heartbeat links fail. In this case, after the time
	specified by Link_Down_Timeout has elapsed, a package in
	Datacenter1 (DC1) will continue updating the local storage, but not
	the mirrored data in datacenter2 (DC2). While the communication
	links must be designed to prevent this situation as far as possible,
	this scenario could occur and may last for a while before one of the
	sites fails.

NOTE	For more information on how access to disks is disabled in certain
	failure scenarios, see “Setting the Value of the Link Down Timeout
	Parameter” on page 69.
	Let us consider a few failure scenarios and the impact of different

	RPO_TARGET values. The discussion below is based on the timeline
	and events shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1	RPO Target Definitions

To ensure that no data is lost when a package fails over to DC2 and starts with only DC2's local storage, t2 must occur between t0 and t1.
