Journal Pairs” (page 219)

.

The pair status is suspended.

If the timeout error was caused by a hardware failure, a SIM
is generated. If this occurs, call HP technical support, and

Paircreate or pairresync operation resulted in
a timeout error.

retry the XP Continuous Access Journal operations after the
problem is solved.

If no SIM was generated, wait for a while (5 or 6 minutes),
then check the pair status of the pair(s) being created or
resumed. If the pair status changed correctly, the failed
operation completed after the timeout message was issued.
If the pair status did not change as expected, a heavy
workload might have prevented the XP Continuous Access
Journal operation from being completed. In this case, retry
the XP Continuous Access Journal operation when the storage
system has a lighter workload.

If a communications error occurs between the Remote Web
Console computer and the SVP, see the HP
XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User Guide
for
instructions.

See

“Recovering a Pinned Track” (page 195)

for instructions.

There is a pinned track on an XP Continuous
Access Journal volume.
