Issue after Applying SP3 (EAS52SP3_WIN.exe) to AutoStart 5.2
Hi,
2 days ago I upgraded one of a customers Testcluster (with 3 Oracle Instances, but without Oracle Module) with AutoStart 5.2 SP3 (SP2 was in use before).
After some reboots because of additional Updates (Proliant Support Pack, Windows Updates, etc.) one of the 4 Data Sources (EMC Mirroring for Windows) was out of sync.
No big Problem, it had to be resynchronized with the "good mirror".
Normally when starting the resynchronization, a Console Popup appears telling that one or more Mirros are being resynchronized.
In SP2 there was also a percentage display next to the Data Source Name in the Console Tree (Domains / emcdomainname / Data Sources / datasourcename), when the synchronization was in progress. This percentage display first appeared only at a change to this percentage, but this was no problem.
It seems that this percentage progress display has gone with the installation of SP3.
Regardless to this, you can get the mirror state including the percentage by clicking the Button "Get Information from the current Data Source", which will look like this:
Volume Info: ORA-Data-Source-H: Online; Dispatcher: Not Active, Not Suspended
Member Server Disk Sig Offset Length State
1 vctst03 4240424 4000 6686924000 100 Healthy
2 vctst04 860D860D 4000 6686924000 100 Healthy
The State is "100" and "Healthy" now, but at the time of resynchronization there was "12" for 12% finished and something like "mirroring in progress" (I don't remember exactly).
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
It is a problem not seeing the Percentage of Resynchronization in the Tree next to the Data Sources, specially if you have many of them and need to quickly overview the status.
Thanks in advance!

- Hello,
There were a couple of issues that were found with the Shared Disk/Mirror DataSources in 5.2 sp3.
A HotFix was released briefly around Sept 17th, but pulled back because of a new issue that was found.
A new HotFix is being worked on currently. It should be out very soon.

Good News Everyone!
I recently upgraded one Cluster with AutoStart 5.3, which solved my problems.
Also some nice features like better Event logging came with it.
You can get it here for all platforms:
https://powerlink.emc.com/nsepn/webapps/btg548664833igtcuup4826/km/appmanager/km/secureDesktop?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=servicesDownloadsTemplatePg&internalId=0b01406680165a2e&_irrt=true
I hope the above link works, if not, just go there:
Home > Support > Software Downloads and Licensing > Downloads A-C > AutoStart
Greetings from Vienna,
Roman Fischer- Hello Everyone,
Roman is correct that AutoStart 5.3 contains the fixes to address the symptoms with the Mirror data source. A hot fix (43387) is available through support for AutoStart version 5.2 SP3 and should be posted on Powerlink in the near future.
Regards,
Emilio

I had already noticed this phenomenon of you.
I did the support request to EMC support.
As a result, HotFix is released in EMC for this bug.
Release is a schedule on September 17.
Let's wait a little.
