HP 3PAR Cluster Extension Software Administrator Guide (5697-2047, June 2012)

6 Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot problems with HP 3PAR Cluster Extension, one must understand HP 3PAR Remote
Copy environments. See the Remote Copy User's Guide for more information on Remote Copy
configuration and volume group states. See the HP 3PAR Cluster Extension log for any cluster
specific information. However, it always keeps its own log files in its default log location.
CAUTION: HP 3PAR Cluster Extension cannot handle Remote Copy volume group states
automatically and correctly, if they result from manual manipulations (either through HP 3PAR
InForm GUI or CLI or through any other means).
