Failover script - RP 3.2

Question

I have RP 3.2.SP2 using Clariion splitter. We are migrating a script from version 2.4 (SP2) which was responsible for the failover for a AIX (HACMP) server. Previously we had the script below: GROUP=GROUP_TESTDATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`HOSTNAME=`hostname` SITE=`ssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key get_group_state group=$GROUP | grep 'Data Transfer' | awk '{ print $4 }'`if [ $HOSTNAME = 'server_bkp' ] && [ $SITE = 'Primary' ] || [ $HOSTNAME = 'server_prod' ] && [ $SITE = 'Secondary' ]then ssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key bookmark_image group=$GROUP bookmark=Image_$DATEssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key enable_image_access group=$GROUP image=Image_$DATEssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key pause_transfer group=$GROUP if [ $HOSTNAME = 'server_bkp' ]thenACTIVESITE=BKPelseACTIVESITE=MAINfi ssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key set_active_site group=$GROUP active_site=$ACTIVESITEssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key start_transfer group=$GROUP fi --------- We migrated this script to the new commands for the version 3.2.SP2 as below. GROUP=GROUP_TESTDATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`HOSTNAME=`hostname`ssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key get_group_state group=$GRUPO | grep 'Transfer source: Local Copy' > /dev/nullif [[ $? = 0 ]]thenSITE='Primary'COPY=''Remote Copy (GROUP_TEST)''elseSITE='Secondary'COPY=''Local Copy (GROUP_TEST)''fiif [ $HOSTNAME = 'server_bkp' ] && [ $SITE = 'Primary' ] || [ $HOSTNAME = 'server_prod' ] && [ $SITE = 'Secondary' ]thenssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key bookmark_image group=$GROUP bookmark=Image_$DATEssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key enable_image_access group=$GROUP copy=$COPY image=Image_$DATEssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key pause_transfer group=$GROUPssh userrpa@rpamgmt -i /.ssh/ssh_key failover group=$GROUP copy=$COPYfi --------- and sometimes we got the error message. Error: Cannot change the replication direction when logged access is not yet enabled for the specified image. Adding a sleep of 30 seconds between the pause and failover it runs successfully but we would like to failover as soon as possible. How can we be sure that the image is available to failover? Thanks,

Use get_group_state group= -xml for the copy in the group that you are attempting access on check the           LOGGED ACCESS if it has value of LOGGED ACCESSS  you are good to go. -rick

Rick, Is there documentation or examples of scripts of EMC, to integration of RecoverPoint with Oracle RAC and HACMP (AIX)? Thanks, Charles
