To monitor the Replicate to Partner operation and make sure all
tasks complete, open the Alarms panel at the
bottom of the GUI window and click the
Failback Operations tab. If an individual task fails, you must correct
the problem and then retry the task. See Handling a failed operation on page 1
3-15.
Note: If you chose to use
manual transfer replication, the status of the create replica task is in-progress until
you complete the manual transfer replication. When the manual transfer replication is complete, the
Replicate to Partner operation continues automatically.
When the volume demote task on the primary group completes, the original volume disappears from the list of
volumes, and the failba
ck replica set appears under Inbound Replicas in the far-left panel.
Where to go next
• To create more replicas, select the recovery volume and click Create replica now. You can also configure
replication schedules on the recovery volume.
• When you are ready to fail back, see Failing back to the primary group.
• You can move a failback replica set to a different pool in th
e primary g
roup. If you later promote the failback
replica set to a volume, the volume belongs to the new pool.
To move a failback replica set to a different pool:
1. On the primary group, click
Replication, expand the replication partner, expand Inbound Replicas,
select the failback replica set, and click
Change storage pool.
2. Select the new pool and click
OK.
• If you do not want to return to the original replication configuration or switch roles, you can make the inbound
replica set promotion permanent and then delete the replica set:
1. On the primary group, click
Replication, then expand the replication partner, then expand Inbound
Replicas
, then select the failback replica set, and then click Convert to replica set.
The replica set continues to be shown in the Replication Partner – Inbound window
, but it is no longer a
failback replica set.
2. Click
Pause inbound.
3. Select the replica set and then click
Delete replica set.
