Operating System Software User Manual

To remove a quorum witness, you must first stop it; see “Stopping a Quorum Witness” (page 266).
Then issue the remove command:
# setrcopytarget witness remove <target_name>
You can also tunnel the remove command to the other HP 3PAR OS using the –remote option:
# setrcopytarget witness remove –remote <target_name>
Auto Failover Policies
A volume group must have the auto_failover policy set if it is to be valid for automated and
transparent failover. Issue the following command on each group that is to have auto failover
functionality:
# setrcopygroup pol auto_failover <Group Name>
NOTE: This command can be issued only on a group that is in the source role. The policy is also
assigned to the target group when issued on the source.
To remove the auto_failover policy from a group, set the group policy to no_auto_failover:
# setrcopygroup pol no_auto_failover <Group Name>
NOTE: Setting the group policy to no_auto_failover will exclude the group from the auto
failover feature, and it will not fail over in a disaster situation.
Quorum Troubleshooting
Quorum Status Qualifier
The quorum status qualifier indicates why a quorum:
• Is not being advanced from the Initializing state to the Not-started state.
• Is not being advanced from the Re-starting state to the Started state
• Was reset to Initializing or Re-starting states
To show the quorum status qualifier, issue the showrcopy command with the –qw (quorum witness)
option. The quorum status is shown in the Q-Status-Qual field. For example:
# showrcopy -qw targets
