Example of failure monitoring
This section describes a procedure for a 2DC configuration that uses Continuous Access Synchronous
to monitor the status of copy groups and send messages to the administrator if the status changes.
In this example, the following are operations that can be performed for Business Continuity Manager
Monitor while copy groups are being monitored:
• The cycle time can be changed from 180 seconds to 300 seconds during failure monitoring
• A command can be executed to put Business Continuity Manager Monitor to sleep for 2 hours,
and then wake Business Continuity Manager Monitor up before 2 hours have passed.
Example configuration of failure monitoring
This section describes the procedure for failure monitoring, using the example configuration shown
in “Example configuration of failure monitoring using Business Continuity Manager Monitor”
(page 533). In this example, create a Continuous Access Synchronous copy group (MYTC) and
operate Business Continuity Manager Monitor with the MYTC in DUPLEX status.
