StorageWorks Storage Mirroring (AiO 600)

[Rick Mancinelli]

Hi there-

I have a pair of AiO 600s that have been mirroring for some time now. We are running SWSM 5.1.

Today, the mirroring and replication stopped. I killed the repset and tried to resubmit the job. I can talk to the far server (across the WAN) but, ironically, not the server from which I am running SWSM Console!

I get an error about a 30 second time out possibly caused by a network issue. I can't see how there could be a network issue since its on the same box!

The application error log does contain some errors and warnings, one about "~~~ DISCOVERY: Failed" and another which talks about DTCom.DLL not being installed.

So far I have:

1> re-registered the dtcom.dll file.
2> stopped and restarted services on both ends.
3> reinstalled SWSM5.1 on the problematic server.

I have not yet been able to reboot the AiO for obvious reasons (takes down the entire network!).

Any ideas?

Also, a quick follow up... I have since rebooted the AiO and that did not help. I later uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, and still ended up with the same problem...

The SWSM 5.1 software does allow me to login to the server (from the management console) and it allows me to create the repset. When I click on the Connection Manager for the repset and then click save, thats where it hangs up Waiting for a response from ZMNJ-AIO, and it counts down from 30 to 1 and eventually times out.

Ideas?

It seems that the DTCom.dll is at the root of the problem...

Odd that this started happening suddenly. It had been working for months......

Both logs have been updated.

AiO is not in the domain.

Storage Mirroring service runs as LSA.

I've been logging into the system as Administrator.

Hope that helps,
Rick
