5 Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot problems with HP 3PAR Cluster Extension, one must understand HP 3PAR Remote Copy environments. See the Remote Copy User's Guide for more information on Remote Copy configuration and volume group states. See the HP 3PAR Cluster Extension log for any cluster specific information. However, it always keeps its own log files in its default log location.
CAUTION: HP 3PAR Cluster Extension cannot handle Remote Copy volume group states automatically and correctly, if they result from manual manipulations (either through HP 3PAR InForm GUI or CLI or through any other means).
