You can shut down one site in a HyperSwap®
topology system without it causing hosts to lose access to the HyperSwap volumes, if there is an up-to-date copy of each HyperSwap volume on the site that remains
online.
Before you begin
Important: - Host connectivity for hosts that are connected to the site is lost when the site is shut down.
You must check that these hosts can access the nodes at the other site before you shut down this
site.
- Confirm that the site that remains online has an up-to-date copy of each HyperSwap volume, by using the management GUI.
- Verify that the quorum disk or the IP quorum application at site 3 is online by using the
command line interface (CLI) lsquorum command.
