# ping <storage system network name or IP address>

If you are using storage system network name, verify it is resolving to proper IP address using nslookup command from the cluster nodes.

# nslookup <storage system network name>

Issues with the startrcopygroup command

If the local replication role is secondary, the remote replication role is primary, and the remote copy link is up, Metrocluster executes stop, reverse, and start operations for the Remote Copy volume group on the local site. If the stop and reverse operation succeed, then the secondary volumes become read-write and the Metrocluster package comes up even if the start operation fails with the error "Promote operation is going on". If the start operation fails, replication I/O does not start from the new primary volumes to the new secondary volumes. In this case, manual intervention is required to restart the replication using the startcopygroup command.
