10.2.1 Make promotions permanent
During full recovery the replicas on the recovery site B were promoted with the ability to fail back. Since there
is nothing to fail back to, these volumes need to be promoted permanently to reverse the replication process.
1. From the Group Manager GUI on site B, select each volume that was promoted during the recovery
process. In the Activities tab click Make Promote Permanent.
2. Enter a new name for the volume, select the storage pool assignment and click Next.
In Step 2 you can include additional iSCSI access. The volume was already given the access control
list from SRM when the volume was promoted. Choose No Access or add access control and click
Next.
Note: If you select None it does not remove the existing access list.
