You can use the following procedure to restart inactive XRC sessions.
Issue the XQUERY MASTER command to determine if an XRC session is
inactive. The session status of END, UNK, or SUS on the ANTQ8304I
message indicates that a coupled XRC session is inactive. You can
issue the XQUERY SUMMARY command on the system from which the XRC
session is running to determine if the session is active.
To restart inactive XRC sessions, perform the following tasks:
- Issue the XADVANCE command for all sessions that indicate that
the RCV/ADV DELTA time is positive (that is, the session consistency
time is consistent with the master journal time). You must issue the
command on the system on which the session was running.
Note: After
the XADVANCE command successfully completes, the data on the secondary
devices is consistent with the master journal time. You can now create
backup copies of your secondary devices as indicated by your installation
backup procedures.
- Issue the XSTART command for each session.
- Issue the XQUERY MASTER command (and the XSTATUS CLUSTER
command if sessions are coupled through a cluster session).
Note: You must perform steps 1 through 3 for each inactive session
before issuing the XRELEASE command.
- Issue the XCOUPLE command with the RELEASE option if the ANTQ8306I
message indicates that the master session is in HOLD status. (See What to do if a session is in COUPLE_FAILED status for additional information regarding the HOLD status
for a master session.)
- Issue the XADDPAIR command for each pair in the session. If volume
pairs are in the SUS state (suspended), you can use the SUSPENDED
option of this command to add all of these volume pairs again.
