• Either make sure the Time Constraint check box is cleared, which allows the schedule to run at any time, or select the check box
to specify a time range within which the schedule should run.
• Either make sure the Date Constraint check box is cleared, which allows the schedule to run on any day, or select the check box
to specify the days when the schedule should run.
8. Click OK. The schedule is created.
Stopping a replication
You can stop a replication on the primary system of a replication set. For the stop to succeed, the replication set state must be either
Ready or Suspended. Attempting to stop a replication for a replication set that is in a Ready or Unsynchronized state fails with an
error message.
NOTE: If you stop a running replication, the replication set returns to the state it had before replication started: either
Ready or Unsynchronized. If you stop a suspended replication, the state of the replication remains Suspended.
NOTE: If you stop the initial replication for a replication set, the snapshot space allocated for that replication in the
primary pool and the secondary pool will not be freed. To free that space, either re-run the initial replication or delete
the replication set.
Stop a replication
NOTE: If CHAP is enabled on one system within a peer connection, be sure that CHAP is configured properly on the
corresponding peer system before initiating this operation. For more information about configuring CHAP, see CHAP
and replication.
1. In the Replications topic, select a replication set that is currently being replicated in the Replication Sets table.
2. Select Action > Abort Replication.
3. Click OK. The replication is terminated.
Suspending a replication
You can suspend replication operations for a specified replication set from its primary system. You can suspend replications from a
replication set's primary system only.
When you suspend a replication set, all replications in progress are paused and no new replications are allowed to occur. You can abort
suspended replications. After you suspend replication, you must resume it to allow the replication set to resume replications that were in
progress and allow new replications to occur. For more information, see Stopping a replication or Resuming a replication.
If replications are attempted during the suspended period (including scheduled replications), the replications will fail.

NOTE:
If CHAP is enabled on one system within a peer connection, be sure that CHAP is configured properly on the
corresponding peer system before initiating this operation. For more information about configuring CHAP, see CHAP
and replication.
1. In the Replications topic, select a replication set that is currently being replicated in the Replication Sets table.
2. Select Action > Suspend Replication.
3. Click OK. The replications on the replication set are suspended and the status of the replication set changes to Suspended.
Resuming a replication
You can resume the replication operations of a specified suspended replication set. You can resume replications from a replication set's
primary system only.
When a replication set is suspended, all replications in progress are paused and no new replications are allowed to occur. When you resume
replications, all paused replications are resumed and new replications are allowed to occur. If you stopped a replication while the replication
set was suspended, the stopped replication does not resume.
