BehaviorPoint in timeSetting
If cache data for a LUN exists on a partic-
ular controller, the unit will be brought
online there. Otherwise, the units are
brought online to Controller 2.
On dual boot or controller resynch
All LUNs are brought online to the surviv-
ing controller.
On controller failover
All LUNs remain on the surviving control-
ler. After controller restoration, the units
that are online to Controller 1 and set to
Path B are brought online to Controller 2.
This is a one-time occurrence. If the host
then moves the LUN using SCSI com-
mands, the LUN will remain where moved.
On controller failback
Changing virtual disk failover/failback setting
Changing the failover/failback setting of a virtual disk may impact which controller presents the disk.
Table 11 identifies the presentation behavior that results when the failover/failback setting for a virtual
disk is changed.
NOTE:
If the new setting moves the presentation of the virtual disk to a new controller, any snapshots or
snapclones associated with the virtual disk are also moved.
Table 11 Impact on virtual disk presentation when changing failover/failback setting
Impact on virtual disk presentationNew setting
None. The disk maintains its original presentation.No Preference
If the disk is currently presented on Controller 2, it is moved to
Controller 1. If the disk is on Controller 1, it remains there.
Path A Failover
If the disk is currently presented on Controller 1, it is moved to
Controller 2. If the disk is on Controller 2, it remains there.
Path B Failover
If the disk is currently presented on Controller 2, it is moved to
Controller 1. If the disk is on Controller 1, it remains there.
Path A Failover/Failback
If the disk is currently presented on Controller 1, it is moved to
Controller 2. If the disk is on Controller 2, it remains there.
Path B Failover/Failback
Implicit LUN transition
Implicit LUN transition automatically transfers management of a virtual disk to the array controller that
receives the most read requests for that virtual disk. This improves performance by reducing the
overhead incurred when servicing read I/Os on the non-managing controller. Implicit LUN transition
is enabled in VCS 4.x and all versions of XCS.
