Checking the Runtime Status of Availability Suite Data Replication

This section provides the following information:

• Displaying an Availability Suite Runtime Status Overview

• Displaying a Detailed Availability Suite Runtime Status

You can obtain an overall view of the status of replication, as well as a more detailed runtime status of the Availability Suite feature from the status of the replication resource groups. The following sections describe the procedures for checking each status.

Displaying an Availability Suite Runtime Status Overview

The status of each Availability Suite data replication resource indicates the status of replication on a particular device group. The status of all the resources under a protection group are aggregated in the replication status.

To view the overall status of replication, look at the protection group state, as described in the following procedure.

How to Check the Overall Runtime Status of Replication

1. Access a node of a cluster where the protection group is defined.

   You must be assigned the Basic Solaris User RBAC rights profile to complete this procedure. For more information about RBAC, see Geographic Edition Software and RBAC in Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.

2. Check the runtime status of replication.

   # geoadm status

   Refer to the Protection Group section of the output for replication information. The information that is displayed by this command includes the following:

   • Whether the local cluster is enabled for partnership participation

   • Whether the local cluster is involved in a partnership

   • Status of the heartbeat configuration

   • Status of the defined protection groups

   • Status of current transactions

3. Check the runtime status of data replication for each Availability Suite protection group.

   # clresource status -v avsdg-rep-rs

   Refer to the Status and StatusMessage fields that are presented for the data replication device group you want to check. For more information about these fields, see Table 2-1.

Displaying a Detailed Availability Suite Runtime Status

One replication resource group exists for each protection group. The name of the replication resource group has the following format:

avsprotectiongroupname-rep-rg

If you add an Availability Suite device group to a protection group, the Geographic Edition software creates a resource for each device group. This resource monitors the status of replication for its device group. The name of each resource has the following format:

avsdevicegroupname-rep-rs

You can monitor the state of the replication resource to give you the overall status of replication. Use the clresource status command as follows to obtain the State and Status Message values for the replication status of the device group:

# clresource status -v avsdg-rep-rs

The State is Online while the resource is online.

The following table describes the Status and Status Message values that are returned by the clresource status command when the State of the Availability Suite replication resource group is Online.

For more details about these values, refer to the Availability Suite Remote Mirror Software Administration and Operations Guide.
