Understanding the cleanup operation

Cleanup operation is an internal operation which takes place whenever a critical task fails in an operation. This operation takes care of cleaning up the managed hosts to ensure the system is in a clean and known state so that the operation can be performed again after taking corrective measures.

The status or the progress of this operation is not displayed in the user interface. To view the status of this operation, check the logs available in the managed hosts.

Mirroring: Steps performed as a part of cleanup:

  • Setup Storage - If you had selected the Create New option in the wizard, mirror is removed for all volumes between source and target disk groups. Mirror disk groups are deleted.

  • Rehearse and Migrate - All volumes of the mirror disk groups are reattached with the corresponding volumes in the source disk group. If the plan created the target cluster configuration, the configuration is backed up and then removed.

Replication: Steps performed as a part of cleanup:

  • Setup Storage - Cleanup is performed only for disk groups marked as Create New. For these disk groups, replication is stopped (if established), secondary site is deleted and primary RVG is removed if the RVG was created by the plan. Disk groups created on the target cluster by the plan is also removed.

  • Rehearse - Snapshots created for volumes are removed from the secondary. Cache object and cache volume are deleted. VCS resources for disk groups, IPs, etc. are restored. If the plan created the target cluster configuration, the configuration is backed up and then removed.

  • Migrate - Replication, if stopped, is started again. If the plan created the target cluster configuration, the configuration is backed up and then removed.
