CAUTION: The volume groups must be started before you continue to the next step and issue
the setrcopygroup restore command.
5. Restore the natural direction of data flow to the Remote Copy system. On the failover system
(SystemB), enter:
# setrcopygroup restore -f -t <target_name>
• <target_name> - Name of the target (recovered) system (SystemA)
The setrcopygroup restore command:
• Starts tasks for each group that was recovered
• Starts a final synchronization from the synchronous backup system (SystemB) to the
asynchronous periodic backup system (SystemC) to ensure that the asynchronous periodic
backup system has the most recent data
• Stops the volume groups
• Switches the secondary volume groups on the primary system (SystemA) to primary volume
groups
• Switches the primary volume groups on the synchronous backup system (SystemB) to
secondary volume groups
• Returns the recovered system (SystemA) to the role of primary system
• Starts Remote Copy on the primary system (SystemA)
For example, the list of tasks on the synchronous backup system (SystemB) looks like:
# setrcopygroup restore -f -t SystemA
