Types of Failures
The types of Cnt Ac-J Z failure are as follows:
• Failure during a failover
• PSOFF or severed power
#
• Others
Lack of copy pairs◦
◦ Inter-disk controller communication failure/full journal
◦ Internal storage system failure
◦ Line failure
#
PSOFF refers to when a storage system is turned off, whereas severed power refers to when the
supply of electricity to the storage system is cut off, such as during a power outage.
Recovering from Failures during Failovers and PSOFF/Cut Power
Table 131 (page 729) lists the procedures for recovering from failures for each failure type.
