Log overview and states

A DR group log is a designated virtual disk that stores the host data that is written to the virtual disks in a
source DR group. The contents of the log are replicated to the destination virtual disks to synchronize
them with their sources.
The process of storing host data, in the exact order received in the DR group, is called logging. The
process of replicating the logged data to the destination DR group, in the same order as received, and
synchronizing with the sources is called merging or DR group normalization. See logging,
and

When a DR group log becomes full, a full copy is automatically initiated. See full copy mode and log size.

Log states
Normal. All source disks in the DR group are continuously logging
and merging.
Running down. All source disks in the DR are merging as the
result of a requested transition to synchronous mode. See
