Replication Agents
EVACA agent DR group failover issue
The HP Command View Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) does not allow DR group failover when replication is suspended and the write mode is synchronous. As a best practice recommended by HP, the Veritas Cluster Server EVACA agent always changes the write mode to synchronous before executing the failover command. Hence, even when the replication is suspended and the attribute SplitTakeover is set to 1, the agent will fail to bring the EVACA resource online if the DR group role is "destination.
Documentation issue
The installation and configuration guides for the Metro Mirror, HP EVA CA, Mirror View, NetApp SnapMirror, SRDF and SRDF Star Point agents incorrectly mention the agent version as 5.1. The correct version is 5.0.
Issues relating to the Q32009 release:
