Partnership states
A partnership has the following states:
Partially Configured:
Indicates that only one cluster partner is defined from a local or remote cluster to the
displayed cluster and is started. For the displayed cluster to be configured fully and to
complete the partnership, you must define the cluster partnership from the cluster that is
displayed to the corresponding local or remote cluster.
Fully Configured:
Indicates that the partnership is defined on the local and remote clusters and is started.
Remote Not Present:
Indicates that the remote cluster is not present for the partnership.
Partially Configured (Local Stopped):
Indicates that the local cluster is only defined to the remote cluster and the local cluster
is stopped.
Fully Configured (Local Stopped):
Indicates that a partnership is defined on both the local and remote clusters and the
remote cluster is present, but the local cluster is stopped.
Fully Configured (Remote Stopped):
Indicates that a partnership is defined on both the local and remote clusters and the
remote cluster is present, but the remote cluster is stopped.
Fully Configured (Local Excluded):
Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote cluster; however, the
local cluster has been excluded. Usually this state occurs when the fabric link between the
two clusters has been compromised by too many fabric errors or slow response times of
the cluster partnership.
Fully Configured (Remote Excluded):
Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote cluster; however, the
remote cluster has been excluded. Usually this state occurs when the fabric link between
the two clusters has been compromised by too many fabric errors or slow response times
of the cluster partnership.
Fully Configured (Remote Exceeded):
Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote cluster and the remote
is available; however, the remote cluster exceeds the number of allowed clusters within a
cluster network. The maximum of four clusters can be defined in a network. If the number
of clusters exceeds that limit, IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node determines the
inactive cluster or clusters by sorting all the clusters by their unique identifier in numerical
order. The inactive cluster partner that is not in the top four of the cluster unique identifiers
shows Fully Configured (Remote Exceeded).
