Designing Disaster Recovery Clusters using Metroclusters and Continentalclusters, Reprinted October 2011 (5900-1881)

# ping <storage system network name or IP address>
If you are using storage system network name, verify it is resolving to proper IP address using
nslookup command from the cluster nodes.
# nslookup <storage system network name>
Issues with the startrcopygroup command
If the local replication role is secondary, the remote replication role is primary, and the remote
copy link is up, Metrocluster executes stop, reverse, and start operations for the Remote Copy
volume group on the local site. If the stop and reverse operation succeed, then the secondary
volumes become read-write and the Metrocluster package comes up even if the start operation
fails with the error "Promote operation is going on". If the start operation fails, replication I/O
does not start from the new primary volumes to the new secondary volumes. In this case, manual
intervention is required to restart the replication using the startcopygroup command.
