Viewing replication session properties Replication Manager session monitoring Viewing storage group properties

You can use the Replication Manager session properties notebook to view properties and check for problems for a selected session.

Prerequisites

You must have created and saved the connection to a peer, or session, before you can view its properties.

Context

You can check the status of a session and its error conditions from the session properties notebook.

Steps

Perform the following steps to view the properties of a replication session:

  1. Click Multiple Device Manager in the IBM Director Task pane.
  2. Click Manage Replication.
  3. Click Sessions. The Sessions panel opens.
  4. In the Sessions table, select the session that you want to view.
  5. Click Properties. The properties notebook for the selected session opens.
  6. Click the General tab.
  7. In the Status field, one of the following status indicators is displayed:
    Normal (green icon)
    All source volumes are replicating in both directions and copy is active. All volumes were established successfully.
    Medium (yellow icon)
    At least one volume has not replicated in both directions during the synchronization-resynchronization process.
    Severe (red icon)
    An error caused a hardware device to respond at multiple addresses or, for a fibre-channel connection, a volume failed to be established.
  8. Click the Copyset tab to view information about the copy sets. The Copyset panel opens, displaying the table of copy sets in the session. You can check for problems in the following tables:
    • The Copyset table indicates if the copy set is invalid. The Last Result column displays the latest message issued for a copy set and indicates why it is invalid.
    • The Last Result column of the Copyset Relationships table displays the last message issued for a copy set pair. If a message ends in E or W, the pair is considered an exception pair.
  9. To check for invalid copy sets:
    1. From the Group level control list, click Show invalid copy sets.
    2. Click Copy set details. The details for all invalid copy sets are displayed.
