 Recover a Replication pair in AWRY state

Solution

When a replication pair encounters an unrecoverable error, the pair goes into an AWRY state. You need to delete the pair and create a replacement pair.
The following conditions might result in unrecoverable errors that cause a replication pair to go into an AWRY state:

● You expand the size of the source LUN after replication has started for the pair.
● You run out of disk space.
● The Pillar Axiom system restarts to recover from an error condition.

1 -  Run the following command to determine whether a replication pair is in an AWRY state on either the primary or the secondary Axiom.

axmrepsan get_replication_pair_status replicationPairName
Result:
If the pair is in an AWRY state, the command returns AWRY as the internal state of the pair.

2 - Run the following command to delete the pair.

axmrepsan delete_replication_pair replicationPairName

3 - Correct the problem that caused the AWRY state.

4 - Run the following command to create a replacement replication pair.

axmrepsan create_replication_pair xmlConfigFileName
secondaryAxiomAccountName secondaryAxiomAccountPassword

Tip: Reuse the same configuration file used to create the pair initially.
Important! Remember to increase the size of the LUN on the secondary site by 1 GB to allow for any differences in quality of service (QoS) settings between the two LUNs.

5 - Run the following command to start replication again:

axmrepsan start_replication_pair replicationPairName PrimaryToSecondary
