Recovering from an orchestrator link failure

Edit online

To recover from an IBM Spectrum Virtualize 3-Site Orchestrator link failure, you verify the error condition and determine when the link failure occurred.

  1. Verify that the 050992 3-site data cycling is stopped because SVC cluster has lost connection with orchestrator event notification is received. View the event notification if log. For more information, see Informational events.

    This event clears automatically when the Secure Shell (SSH) connection is restored.

  2. Depending on when the link failure occurs, if the orchestrator link (SSH connection to any site) fails, complete the following tasks:
    • If the link failure occurs before you create 3-site consistency groups, recover the SSH connections to any site.
    • If the link failure occurs after 3-site consistency groups are created, consider the following information:
      • The consistency groups move to the stopped state. Verify the 050993 3-site consistency group is now in STOPPED State event notification is received. To view the event notification, see Informational events.
      • Data cycling automatically restarts when the SSH connections to any site are recovered.
    All the commands except the convertrcconsistgrp command return the following error:
    CMMVC9507E SSH Connection failed with site [Master_cluster_ip].

The ls3siteconfig command can also be entered to check the IP reachable fields, which indicate the state of the connections between sites.
