Fixes for A.01.00 in the March 2013 Patch Release • QXCR1001259829 When the Remote Copy volume group is configured with asynchronous periodic mode, and if the RESYNC_WAIT_TIMEOUT parameter is configured, then during the package startup Metrocluster must synchronize the non-current data. Currently, Metrocluster does not synchronize the data, and allows the package to startup with non-current data even if the RESYNC_WAIT_TIMEOUT parameter is configured.
