Sam,
3. If you use onbar for backup, then copy ixbar.<SERVERNUM> to the RSS before running `onbar -r -l`. Make sure the ixbar contains a log physical restore has reached.
Did you try to restart the RSS?

Dennis

Hi Sam,
ain't this - the two servers "connected" and "active", yet no logs being transferred - the picture when the primary is too far ahead of the secondary, so won't have the logs on disk any more that the secondary expects next? You'd be able to tell this from a message on secondary side to the effect that it expects logs from tape (rather than disk).
If this is the case, what you can try is
- bring the secondary up in recovery mode (oninit -PHY) - as if it had been physically restored, expecting logical restore now
- tell it it's meant to be an RSS: onmode -d RSS <primary_name> (it should still be known as an RSS on the primary)
- initiate a log restore, provided everything required for this is in place: ontape -l
HTH,
Andreas

Hello
I need to re-initiate synchronization between a primary server and the RSS.
They re currently connected, active
prim:/prod/dbown>onstat -g cluster
...
Server ACKed Log Applied Log Supports Status
(log, page) (log, page) Updates
ids_tlv_rss 0,0 0,0 No ASYNC(RSS),Connected,Active
Do I need to first disconnect them completely and run the commands
On primary server
onmode -d add RSS rss_ha_alias
ontape -s -L 0 -t STDIO -F | ssh secondary_host ontape_RSS_restore.ksh
On RSS server
onmode -d RSS primary_ha_alias
Or, or just re-run the script
ontape -s -L 0 -t STDIO -F | ssh secondary_host
Thanks
Sam
