Performing a disaster test

Test how robust your cluster is in case of a disaster.

To perform a disaster test

  1. Shut down all hosts and the Symmetrix array at the workload site. If you cannot shut down the workload site Symmetrix array, disconnect all of the links for the Symmetrix array and simultaneously shut down the hosts. This action mimics a disaster scenario from the point of view of the remote sites.
  2. In a global cluster, a cluster down alert appears and the service group fails over to site B or site C, depending on the values of the ClusterList and ClusterFailoverPolicy attributes.

    In a replicated data cluster, the service group fails over to site B or site C, depending on the values of the SystemZones, FailoverPolicy, AutoFailover, ClusterList, and ClusterFailoverPolicy attributes.
