Overview of Metrocluster 3PAR Remote Copy volume group monitor
In a Metrocluster environment it is necessary to actively monitor the Remote Copy volume group
state. If this is not done, it becomes difficult to find out the time when the application data became
remotely unprotected for an extended period of time. Under such circumstances, the Metrocluster
3PAR Remote Copy volume group monitor provides the capability to monitor the status of the
Remote Copy volume group used in a package.
The monitor, as a package service, periodically verifies the status of the 3PAR Remote Copy volume
group, which is configured for the package. If there is a change in the status of the Remote Copy
volume group of the package, the monitor sends a notification to the user through e-mail, syslog,
OPC, or console. The notification has the reason for the notification, a timestamp, the status of the
Remote Copy volume group, and steps to restore replication as applicable.
