While IdlingDisconnected, if a write I/O is received that causes the loss of synchronization
(synchronized attribute transitions from true to false) and the relationship was not already
stopped (either through a user stop or a persistent error), an event is raised to notify you of
the condition. This same event also is raised when this condition occurs for the
ConsistentSynchronized state.
When the relationship or Consistency Group becomes connected again, the relationship
becomes InconsistentCopying automatically unless either of the following conditions
are true:
The relationship was InconsistentStopped when it became disconnected.
The user issued a stop command while disconnected.
In either case, the relationship or Consistency Group becomes InconsistentStopped.
ConsistentDisconnected
ConsistentDisconnected is a disconnected state. The target volumes in this half of the
relationship or Consistency Group are all in the auxiliary role, and accept read I/O but
write I/O.
This state is entered from ConsistentSynchronized or ConsistentStopped when the auxiliary
side of a relationship becomes disconnected.
In this state, the relationship or Consistency Group displays an attribute of FreezeTime, which
is the point when Consistency was frozen. When it is entered from ConsistentStopped, it
retains the time that it had in that state. When it is entered from ConsistentSynchronized, the
FreezeTime shows the last time at which the relationship or Consistency Group was known
to be consistent. This time corresponds to the time of the last successful heartbeat to the
other system.
A stop command with the -access flag set to true transitions the relationship or Consistency
Group to the IdlingDisconnected state. This state allows write I/O to be performed to the
auxiliary volume and is used as part of a DR scenario.
When the relationship or Consistency Group becomes connected again, the relationship or
Consistency Group becomes ConsistentSynchronized only if this action does not lead to a
loss of consistency. The following conditions must be true:
The relationship was ConsistentSynchronized when it became disconnected.
No writes received successful completion at the master while disconnected.
Otherwise, the relationship becomes ConsistentStopped. The FreezeTime setting is retained.
Empty
This state applies only to Consistency Groups. It is the state of a Consistency Group that has
no relationships and no other state information to show. It is entered when a Consistency
Group is first created. It is exited when the first relationship is added to the Consistency
Group, at which point the state of the relationship becomes the state of the Consistency
Group.
