Cluster Server 8.0 Agent for EMC SRDF/Star Configuration Guide - Windows

Local site name same as asynch target

In this scenario, the local site is the current workload site and the local site name is the same as async target site (as specified in options file as part of the SRDF/Star configuration). The syncSite attribute is not specified.

The entry point attempts to transition only the site specified by the asyncSite attribute to the PROTECTED state. The entry point also attempts to move the second remote site to the connected state. The entry point does this so that, in the future, it is possible to switch from the local site by halting STAR. In such a case, the OnlineOnState attribute is irrelevant because both remote sites cannot be moved to the protected state and STAR protection cannot be enabled. If the asyncSite does not transition to the PROTECTED state, then the SRDFStar resource goes online only if the ForceOnline attribute is set to 1.
