Common Platform Issues
Intermittent Double Normalization After a Full Failback or Failback to New Hardware Procedure
After you have performed a full failback or failback to new hardware, a second normalization (from the initiator to target) can occur. This double normalization happens after the point in the failback procedure where you add the target and normalize your storage sets (from the target to initiator).
The only effect of this extra normalization is to add the additional controller overhead of doing a full
Command Scripter Communication Loss Due to SCSI Error
If Command Scripter v1.0A has a loss of communication while a script is running, it will cause the script to abort. You must then put the controllers in a known state by issuing the appropriate CLI commands from the controllers. You can examine the .log files in the $CLONE_HOME/log directory to determine which commands were executed before communication was lost.
If the communication failure is due to a SCSI error, then the loss of connection is only momentary. You can verify that the connection is
cmdscript
However, if this command continuously gives a communication failure error, a hardware failure or configuration error is indicated. Troubleshoot the loss of connection for causes such as broken links, failed devices, controller configuration, and so on.
Waiting for Write History Logging Disks
After clearing invalid cache and lost data, remote copy set processing will halt. When you issue the CLI command SHOW REMOTE_COPY_SETS FULL, you may see the following error message:
Waiting for write history logging disks to become ready.
Restart the controller to clear this condition.
Association Sets
Association sets can contain up to 12 remote copy sets. However, because all remote copy sets within an association set are moved between controllers as a group, all remote copy sets within an association set must be accessed by the same server.
For instance, 6 remote copy sets (one association set) could be accessed by one server and 6 remote copy sets (another association set) by the other.
