10.10.10 Switching copy direction

When a remote copy relationship is in the Consistent synchronized state, the copy direction
for the relationship can be changed. Only relationships that are not a member of a
Consistency Group (or the only relationship in a Consistency Group) can be switched
individually. These relationships can be switched from master to auxiliary or from auxiliary to
master, depending on the case.
Complete the following steps to switch a remote copy relationship:
1. From the System pane, select Copy Services → Remote Copy.
2. Expand the Not in a Group column.
3. In the table, select the remote copy relationship that you want to switch.
4. Click Actions → Switch (Figure 10-137) to start the remote copy process.
Tip: You can also right-click a relationship and select Switch.
