VERITAS Volume Replicator Kernel State

The Kernel State (KSTATE) indicates the accessibility of the RVG and RLINK objects. When you issue the vxprint command, the KSTATE is listed under the KSTATE heading of the output.

RVG KSTATEs

• ENABLED---You can do I/O to the volumes that belong to the RVG.
• DISABLED---You cannot do I/O to the volumes that belong to the RVG. It must be enabled before you can use the RVG. Issue the vxrvg start command.
• RECOVER--- You cannot do I/O to the volumes that belong to the RVG. This state is triggered after a diskgroup import or if the RVG object was not recovered properly after a reboot or a crash. Issue the vxrvg recover command.

RLINK KSTATEs

• CONNECT---Replication is taking place.
• ENABLED---The RLINK is not communicating with its peer; therefore, replication is not taking place. When the RLINK does communicates with its peer, it automatically reverts to the CONNECT state.
• DETACHED---The RLINK is not replicating and is not attempting to connect. Issue the vxrlink att command.
• RECOVER---The RLINK is out of operation. This state is triggered after a diskgroup import or if the RLINK object was not recovered properly after a reboot or a crash. Issue the vxrlink recover command.
