Systems that have remote load source mirror protection can be
recovered by using the steps in “Recover Remote Load Source” on
page 917.
If you do know if this system has remote load source mirror protection,
contact your next level of support.
b. Select the Work with disk units option on the Service Tools display.
c. Select the Display disk configuration option.
d. Select the Display disk configuration status option.
Does the failing disk unit have a status of “Suspended”?
No Yes
↓ Go to step 15 of this procedure.
2. Does the disk unit that is mirrored to the failing disk unit have a status of
“Suspended”?
Yes No
↓ Go to step 12 of this procedure.
3. Is the failing disk unit the load source (disk unit 1)?
Yes No
↓ Ask the customer to end all applications that are running on the
system and power the system off with the Power Down System
(PWRDWNSYS) command.
To save the data by copying to tape:
v Go to “Disk Unit Data Save and Initialize” on page 903.
To save the data by copying to another disk:
v Go to “Disk Unit Initialize and Disk to Disk Copy” on page 912.
4. Is the failing load source disk unit a local load source?
No Yes
↓ Ask the customer to end all applications that are running on the
system and power the system off with the Power Down System
(PWRDWNSYS) command.
To save the data by copying to tape:
v Go to “Disk Unit Data Save and Initialize” on page 903.
To save the data by copying to another disk:
v Go to “Disk Unit Initialize and Disk to Disk Copy” on page 912.
5. You are at this step because the remote load source is failing and the local
load source has a state of Suspended.
Perform the following to attempt to repair the local load source. Doing this
procedure reduces the duration of the repair time.
a. Record the location of the local load source disk unit.
b. Exchange the local load source disk unit using concurrent maintenance for
the model or FC that you are working on (see“Chapter 4. Removal and
Installation Procedures” on page 617).
