parameter, which activates the session in the reverse direction.
Unplanned failures are events such as source system failure or an event on the source system that
leads to downtime for production access.
Unplanned failovers are issued from the destination system, and are indicated by setting the
is_planned parameter to false. Unplanned failovers provide production access to the original
destination resource from a preview synchronized point-in-time snapshot referred to as replication
common-base. After an unplanned failover, you can restore the system from any point-in-time
snapshots on the new source resource. Unplanned failovers place the original source resource into
destination mode once it reestablishes a connection to the source system. You can use the reprotect
action to synchronize the destination storage resource, and then resume the replication session.
After the replication session has failed over, you can resize the volume group or change the volume
group membership on the new source resource.
