Review the geographic mirroring message descriptions and recoveries to resolve your geographic mirroring questions.

0x00010259

Description: Operation failed because the system did not find the mirror copy.

Recovery: Not all the nodes in the device domain responded. Make sure that clustering is active. If necessary, start clustering (STRCLUNOD). Try the request again. If the problem persists, contact your technical support provider.

0x0001025A

Description: Not all of the disk pools in the disk pool group are geographically mirrored.

Recovery: If one disk pool in a disk pool group is geographically mirrored, all of the disk pools in the disk pool group must be geographically mirrored. Take one of the following actions:

  1. Configure geographic mirroring for the disk pools which are not geographically mirrored.

  2. Deconfigure geographic mirroring for the disk pools that are geographically mirrored.

0x00011210

Description: The proposed secondary disk pool for the disk pool group is not geographically mirrored.

Recovery: If one disk pool in a disk pool group is geographically mirrored, all of the disk pools in the disk pool group must be geographically mirrored. You must configure geographic mirroring for the proposed secondary disk pool which is not geographically mirrored, either now or after completing this operation.

0x00011211

Description: Duplicate mirror copies exist.

Recovery: Check for locally mirrored disk units that may exist on two systems, Enterprise Storage Server® FlashCopy®, or back level independent disk pool copies.
