History:
Using the CVT machine with vmware, Initially Created a LUN using the CreateImageFile.ps1 sample.
Using Create HA_2 and AddHAPartner as template and converted the Image file to HA, and allowed it to fully sync.
"Primary" was targetha02
"Partner" is partnerha02
The "HA Device" is HAImage1.
We needed to do some maintanence to Primary hardware, so we used the MaintenanceMode.ps1 to shut down Primary, and then used it again to shut down the partner.
Rebooted both servers -- some drives failed in the primary during the reboot.
Left with just the partner -- with the primary no more -- I'm looking for Standard Operating Procedure on how to get the storage backup.... prior to repairing the HA.
My understanding from looking at some other posts (like forums_starwindsoftware_com viewtopic.php ? t=5738)
is that first you should run RemoveHAPartner, put the new replacement in place and then run AddHAParnter to connect to replacement and allow to sync.
In my case when I boot the remaining partner up, starwind shows the lun is in maintenance mode (which of course it is).
When I try to use MaintenanceMode.ps1, but change the operands to (true, true) to try to take it out of maintenance mode, it fails because "connection with partner node is invalid."
#code: params: enable, force -> $false, $true
When I try RemoveHAPartner, it gives "Error: 200 Failed: operation cannot be completed."
Is there some "Standard Operating Procedure" for if one of the nodes is failed and unrecoverable, and the second node is in maintenance mode, to bring the operational node back out of maintenance mode into "limited availability" mode, or to bring it back up in "image" mode?
