HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager V1.1 Release Notes (T3687-96026, June 2005)

Enabling failsafe mode with a managed set fails
Attempting to enable failsafe mode for a m a nag ed set of D R g roups fails. The replication manag er
logs the messag
e: Not available:: ERROR: failsafe() not available in current
state.
This can occur when the managed set in a GUI action or CLUI command contains one or more DR
groups whose remote replication I/O mode is set to asynchronous. Enabling the failsafe mode would
result in an invalid DR group configuration, so the action is failed. See also the issue “Invalid DR group
pair configuration.”
Invalid DR gr
oup pair configuration
You can use GUI actions or CLUI commands to create a DR group pair with the following invalid
configuration: failsafe mode enabled with synchronous remote replication I/O
mode.
If you find this invalid configuration and attempt to use CLUI commands to disable the failsafe mode, the
replication manager logs the m essage: Failed to set failsafe for DR Group, group is
currently :failsafe is already enabled.
UsetheGUIorCLUIcommandstosetavalidconfiguration. To retain an asynchronous I/O mode
and disable the failsafe mode:
1. Change the remote replication I/O mod e to synchronous.
2. Change the failsafe m ode to disabled.
3. Change the remote replication I/O mo de back to asynchronous.

instances.
