Where to go next
• If you are permanently switching partner roles, see Converting a failback replica set to an inbound replica set
for the next step in the procedure.
Converting a failback replica set to an inbound replica set
The final step in the procedure for switching roles in a volume replication configuration is to permanently convert
the volume’s failback replica set to an inbound replica set.
Note: After you
convert a failback replica set to an inbound replica set, you cannot promote the inbound replica set
to the original volume.
1. On the primary group, click
Replication, then expand the partner, then expand Inbound Replicas, then
select the failback replica set, then click
Convert to replica set.
2. Confirm that you want to convert the replica set.
When the conversion completes, the replica set continues to
appear in the Replication Partner – Inbound window,
but it is no longer a failback replica set.
Permanently promoting a replica set to a volume
You can permanently promote a replica set in a single operation, resulting in a new standard volume, template
volume, or thin clone volume. You might need to perform this task if the original volume is destroyed. Permanently
promoting an inbound replica set does not require any additional space on the secondary group, because it reduces
delegated space by the size of the volume's replica reserve.

Restriction: In s
ome cases, you cannot permanently promote a replica set in a single operation. If you do not get
the option to deselect the
Keep ability to demote to replica set option, you must
temporarily promote the replica set and then make the promotion permanent. See Promoting an
inbound replica set to a recovery volume on page 1
3-7 and Making an inbound replica set promotion
permanent on pa
ge 13-13.
Restriction: Before you
can permanently promote a template replica set, you must permanently promote all the
attached thin clone replica sets.
1. On the secondary group, click
Replication, then expand the partner, then expand Inbound Replicas,
then select the replica set name, and then click
Promote to volume.
2. Confirm that you want to pause inbound replication from the partner.
