ERROR_MODE=NORMAL

ERROR_MODE=FAILSAFE

Valid only on mirrorsets that have been enabled for DT_SUPPORT. Controls how the mirroring software treats member failure.

Specify NORMAL and the mirroring software will fail any I/O—forcing the mirrorset inoperative—when the normal/normalizing local membership falls to zero.

Specify FAILSAFE and the mirroring software will fail any I/O—forcing the mirrorset inoperative—whenever either normal/normalizing remote membership or normal/normalizing local membership falls to zero.

If FAILSAFE is specified, the DT_SUPPORT must be enabled on the mirrorset and there must be at least one normal/normalizing local member and one normal/ normalizing remote member, otherwise an error is displayed.

READ_CACHE (Default)

NOREAD_CACHE

Sets the controller’s read-cache function.

Read caching improves performance in almost all situations. Therefore, it is recommended to leave its default setting, READ_CACHE, enabled. However, under certain conditions, such as when performing a backup, read-caching may not be necessary since only a small amount of data is cached. In such instances, it may be beneficial to disable read cache and remove the processing overhead associated with caching.
