Changes are made to improve the StoreServ's ability to deal with longer response times from the EVA during the importing phase. SCSI commands not terminating properly. This addresses issues of not terminating SCSI commands properly when those commands could not be completed by the InServ. Some commands require the use of SYSMGR. When the SYSMGR is not available to help process the commands, the commands are not terminated and the commands are stuck in the queue of the host InServ ports. Active volume removals prevents periodic synchronizations starting for volumes within the same volume family. When active volume removal is in progress, the periodic synchronization process for volumes within the same volume family does not start. An error message is displayed indicating that the volume is locked. After the volume removal is completed, the next periodic synchronization process will begin. Periodic synchronizations may suspend during an online upgrade. During an online upgrade, periodic remote copy groups may stop synchronizing. If this occurs, normal operation will resume as soon as the upgrade is completed (after the cli upgradesys -finish command is executed). There is no need to stop periodic groups before the upgrade is carried out. Synchronous Remote Copy groups are unaffected. I/O to volumes in remote copy groups is unaffected. No manual intervention is required to Remote Copy groups or volumes before, during, or after the upgrade. The only impact of this issue is the suspension of periodic synchronization process for the duration of the online upgrade.
