HP XP7 Continuous Access Journal User Guide (TK911-96002)

Troubleshooting hardware problems affecting pairs
Hardware failures affecting Continuous Access Journal are described in the following table. Note
also that, in addition to the problems described below, hardware failures that affect cache memory
and shared memory can cause the pairs to be suspended.

Troubleshooting with RAID Manager
When an error has occurred in Continuous Access Journal pair operation when using RAID
Manager, you can identify the cause of the error by referring to the RAID Manager operation log
file. The file is stored in the following directory by default:
/HORCM/log*/curlog/horcmlog_HOST/horcm.log
Where:
* is the instance number.
HOST is the host name.
