Fixes
Support for starting the RC group during the CLX Resource IsAlive Timeout period
During the CLX resource online operation, CLX starts the Remote Copy (RC) volume group after
successful failover. If the RC group (remote replication) fails to start, CLX resource still comes online
and hence the dependent clustered disk or application also comes online. After the clustered disk
or application comes online, CLX continuously tries to start the RC group. But during certain
situations, CLX fails to start the RC group and manual intervention is required to start the remote
replication. This issue is fixed in this version of CLX, that is, CLX automatically takes care of starting
the RC group.
