Restoring the bunker setup after failback to original Primary

After the original Primary is restored and the failback is complete, restore the bunker setup so that the bunker is again replicating the SRL of the original Primary.

If the bunker storage is connected to the Primary using the STORAGE protocol, then the disk group containing the bunker SRL is imported on the bunker host during the replay. When the Primary recovers, this disk group must be made available to the Primary host again.

To restore the bunker setup when using the STORAGE protocol

  1. Deport the disk group from the bunker host:
    # vxdg deport hrdg2
  2. Import the disk group on the Primary host:
    # vxdg import hrdg2
  3. To deactivate the bunker, if it is not already deactivated, issue the following command on the bunker host:
    # vradmin -g hrdg2 deactivatebunker hr_rvg
  4. Restart replication from the Primary to the bunker:
    # vradmin -g hrdg -a startrep hr_rvg portland

To restore the bunker setup when using the IP protocol

  1. Deactivate the bunker, if it is not already deactivated. Issue the following command on the bunker host:
    # vradmin -g hrdg2 deactivatebunker hr_rvg
  2. Restart replication from the Primary to the bunker.
    # vradmin -g hrdg -a startrep hr_rvg portland
