The Work with Data Resource Group Entries display lists the data resource groups associated with an application group. Each entry identifies a data resource group and the summary of the replication status from its associated data groups.

Figure 5.The Work with Data Resource Group Entries display for an application group that does not participate in a cluster.

A Virtual switch status field can appear below the Application group field when a virtual switch is in progress for the application group (*NONCLU only). The field identifies the phase of virtual switch activity.

Resource Group Status - This column identifies the status of the data resource group. In environments that do not include IBM i clustering, this column is always blank.

Node Status - This column identifies the status of the nodes for the data resource group. In environments that do not include IBM i clustering, this column is always blank

Replication Status - The value in this column is a summary status of data replication activity for the data resource group. The status includes the status of all data group processes, replication direction, replicated object and file entries, audits, and recoveries.

The following table identifies status values for replication that require user action.

Description and Action

*ATTN

One or more of the following problems exist for data groups within the data resource group.

  • The source system of an active data group is not the primary node of its application group.
  • A data group has a failed state, a process other than apply is inactive during a virtual switch, an error condition, audit errors, or pending recoveries.

To prevent damage to data in your environment, it is important that you begin by determining which system should be the source for the data groups. Do the following:

  1. From this display, use option 8 (Data groups) to check which system is the current source for the data group.

  2. Determine which node has the role of current primary for the application group. From the Work with Application Groups display, use option 12 (Node entries), then check the current node role.

If the current primary node is correct and a data group with an incorrect source system is active, end the data group and contact Support.

 If the data groups in question have the correct source system but the primary node for the application group is not correct, you need to change the recovery domain for the application group to make the correct node become primary. Use Changing the sequence of backup nodes.

After you have ensured that the data groups have the correct source system, resolve any error conditions reported on the Work with Data Groups display.

Note: Not all data groups should necessarily be active. Only the data groups currently being used for data replication should be active. You will need to look at the current node roles and data providers for the node entries to determine which data groups should be active.

*INACTIVE

All replication in the data resource group is inactive. This may be normal if replication was ended to perform certain activities. Use option 8 (Data groups) to access the Work with Data Groups display.
