Solved!
Go to SolutionSplit Before Sync
there was a disk failure.
when I tried to establish I am getting this error
'Incremental Establish' operation execution is in progress for device group 'abcd'. Please wait...
Cannot proceed when the BCV state is 'Split Before Sync' except if the force flag or exact pairing is used
20090727-23:00:03 Symmir establish failed, rc=22
20090727-23:00:03 Error during BCV establish operation, terminating...
I have tired with force flag, also -full flag
bcv is meta device. out of one meta member is showing invalid state. rest all the members are in sync

first execute this step
symmir -sid xxx -g dg_name instant split -force
then execute
symmir -sid xxx -g dg_name query //checked all the device pairs should be in split state
again execute
symmir -sid xxx -g dg_name est

Stefano,
Thanks it worked......
Can you please explain me why we need to an instant key word for splitting and also force during a an est.
why my command did nt work out, because I used to run the same command for establishing bcv....
what is meant by splbfrsync?1347

Hulk unfortunatly the SpltBfrSync is a very odd situation. You have a BCV that's synching from its STD device. But suddenly the copy process is interrupted. The BCV device content is at most useless. You can't flag them as Split since a Splitted BCV is available to the hosts. And it needs some extra flags just to be sure you understood it was a very special (and odd) situation
And you need an explicit -instant keyword since the default behaviour assumes your STD devices are quiet (and you can split without hurry). If your STD devices aren't idle and you can't wait (the content is changing while you are splitting) you need an extra option. Not a big deal, just a few characters in your shell scripts I guess1347

we used to always get that when we were syncing to unprotected BCVs and physical drive that BCV symdev was on would happen to fail.

Can you try using both options, please?
