0 – (DEFAULT) Do NOT startup the application on

 

non-current data. If Metrocluster/Continuous Access cannot

 

determine the data is current, it will not allow the package

 

to start up. (Note: for fence level DATA and NEVER, the

 

data is current when both PVOL and SVOL are in PAIR state.)

 

1 – Startup the application even when the data cannot be

 

current.

 

NOTE: When a device group state is SVOL_PAIR on the

 

local site and EX_ENORMT (Raid Manager or node failure)

 

or EX_CMDIOE (disk I/O failure) on the remote site (this

 

means it is impossible for Metrocluster/Continuous Access

 

to determine if the data on the SVOL site is current),

 

Metrocluster/Continuous Access conservatively assumes that

 

the data on the SVOL site can be non-current and uses the

 

value of AUTO_NONCURDATA to determine whether the

 

package is allowed to automatically start up. If the value is

 

1, Metrocluster/Continuous Access allows the package to

 

startup; otherwise, the package will not be started.

 

NOTE: In a three data center environment, if the package

 

is trying to start up in data center three (DC3), within the

 

recovery cluster, only AUTO_NONCURDATA can be

 

checked. All other AUTO parameters are not relevant when

 

a package tries to start up on DC3.

 

Use the two scenarios below to help you determine the

 

correct environment settings for AUTO_NONCURDATA and

 

AUTO_FENCEDATA_SPLIT for your Metrocluster/Continuous

 

Access packages.

 

Scenario 1: With the package device group fence level

 

DATA, if setting AUTO_FENCEDATA_SPLIT=0, it is

 

guaranteed that the remote data site will never contain

 

non-current data (this assumes that the FORCEFLAG has not

 

been used to allow the package to start up if the Continuous

 

Access links or SVOL site are down). In this environment,

 

you can set AUTO_NONCURDATA=1 to make the package

 

automatically startup on the SVOL site when the PVOL site

 

fails, and it is guaranteed the package data is current. (If

 

setting AUTO_NONCURDATA=0, the package will not

 

automatically startup on the SVOL site.)

 

Scenario 2: When the package device group fence level is

 

set to NEVER or ASYNC, you are not guaranteed that the

 

remote (SVOL) data site still contains current data (The

 

application can continue to write data to the device group

 

on the PVOL site if the Continuous Access links or SVOL site

 

are down, and it is impossible for Metrocluster/Continuous

 

Access to determine whether the data on the SVOL site is

 

current.) In this environment, it is required to set

 

AUTO_NONCURDATA=0 if the intention is to ensure the

 

package application is running on current data. (If setting

 

AUTO_NONCURDATA=1, the package started up on SVOL

 

site whether the data is current or not.)

AUTO_PSUEPSUS

(Default = 0)

 

In asynchronous mode, when the primary site fails, either

 

due to Continuous Access link failure, or some other

 

hardware failure, and we fail over to the secondary site,

 

the PVOL will become PSUE and the SVOL will become
