Suspended distributed device

Hi

I have a problem with a distributed device in VPLEX. If I check the status of the Distributed Device in the CLI it says:

summary:: suspended, details:: [requires-resume-at-loser]

However, when I execute "resume-at-loser", I get the following output:

consistency-group resume-at-loser:  Evaluation of < > failed.

cause:                              Failed to resume I/O at cluster cluster-X in consistency-group 'XXX'.

cause:                              Firmware command error.

cause:                              Property is not awaiting resume.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

Found the solution!

Even though the consistency groups are distributed across both clusters, they are always created in one of them. The cosistency group must be "resume-at-lose r" in the cluster where the consistency group was created. Stupid behavior but that is the only way to make it work.

I hope I help someone in the future

Distributed devices wil also go suspend  in à consistency group if you powerdown one cluster in à metro config. When  is involved and i/o gets to the "winning" cluster, you have to manual do the resume at loser command....

I have a customer that has the VPLEX 5.0 Geo and has been testing failing components to see how their servers respond.  The setting we see to control the Consistency Groups is the ‘auto-resume-at-loser=true’.  We realized that needed to be set or we had to manually bring the CG's back online.

Is that the recommended setting?  Is there a "bring all CG's online" command?

Would you recommend setting this to true  for VM as well as SQL?

Thank you!
