Failover scenarios
Scenario | Control domain | Alternate I/O domain | VCS behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
State of each storage service group | Online | Online | No fail over |
Offline/FAULT | Online | No fail over | |
Online | Offline/FAULT | No fail over | |
Offline/FAULT | Offline/FAULT | Fail over | |
State of each network service group | Online | Online | No fail over |
Offline/FAULT | Online | No fail over | |
Online | Offline/FAULT | No fail over | |
Offline/FAULT | Offline/FAULT | Fail over | |
Domain state | Up | Up | No fail over |
Up | down | No fail over | |
Down | Up | Fail over * | |
Down | down | Fail over ** |
* VCS behavior would be "No fail over" with service group in auto-disabled state if the LDOM resource attribute DomainFailurePolicy for the control domain is set to "ignore" and the LDOM service group attribute SysDownPolicy is set to "AutoDisableNoOffline".
** VCS behavior would be "No fail over" with service group in auto-disabled state if the LDOM resource attribute DomainFailurePolicy for the control and other I/O domain is set to "ignore" and the LDOM service group attribute SysDownPolicy is set to "AutoDisableNoOffline"
