Recovering Remote Copy groups in a failsafe state with auto_synchronize off

In this example, the failed and recovered storage system is the primary system (SystemA). The failover storage system is the secondary system (SystemB).

Prerequisites

Both storage systems are ready to resume normal operations.

Procedure

Log in to the failover storage system.
Confirm the Remote Copy links are up.
```
cli% showrcopy links
```
- If the links are up, go to the next step.
- If the links are not up, troubleshoot the problem. See HPE Primera OS: Troubleshooting your Remote Copy configuration. Wait for the links to come up and then continue to the next step.
Recover the target group.
```
cli% setrcopygroup recover -t <sync target>
```
Where: <sync target> is the name of the target Remote Copy group on the primary system (SystemA).
The Remote Copy group on SystemA is changed from primary to secondary-rev.
Wait for the volumes to synchronize (the SyncStatus shows Synced).
```
cli% showrcopy
```
Reverse the role of the Remote Copy group.
```
cli% setrcopygroup reverse -natural -t <sync target>
```
The Remote Copy group on SystemA is changed from secondary-rev to secondary. The Remote Copy group on SystemB is changed from primary-rev to primary.
(Optional) To change the groups back to the original configuration:
```
cli% setrcopygroup switchover -t <sync target>
```
The Remote Copy group on SystemA is changed to primary. The Remote Copy group on SystemB is changed to secondary. The replication direction changes so that SystemA replicates to SystemB.
