Suspending Replication; Resuming Replication; Aborting Replication; Detaching A Secondary Volume - HP P2000 Reference Manual

• The secondary volume is removed
• Any replication images are replaced by snapshots
• Under the secondary vdisk:
• The secondary volume's designation is changed from Secondary Volume to Volume
• The primary volume is removed
• Any replication images are replaced by snapshots
NOTE: Normally, if you want to remove a replication set you must select its primary volume. However, if
the primary volume is inaccessible, you can set the secondary volume to be the primary volume (as
described in Changing the primary volume for a replication set
Replication Set operation.

Suspending replication

If the system is licensed to use remote replication, you can suspend the current replication operation for a
selected a replication volume. You must perform this task on the system that owns the secondary volume.
Once suspended, the replication must be resumed or aborted to allow the replication volume to resume
normal operation.
To suspend replication
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a local replication volume and select Provisioning >
Suspend Replication.
2. In the main panel, click Suspend Replication. A message indicates whether the task succeeded or
failed.

Resuming replication

If the system is licensed to use remote replication, you can resume a suspended replication operation for a
selected replication volume. You must perform this task on the system that owns the secondary volume.
To resume replication
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a local replication volume and select Resume Replication.
2. In the main panel, click Resume Replication. A message indicates whether the task succeeded or failed.

Aborting replication

If the system is licensed to use remote replication, you can abort the current replication operation for the
selected replication volume. The current replication may be running or suspended. You must perform this
task on the system that owns the secondary volume.
To abort replication
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a local replication volume and select Provisioning > Abort
Replication.
2. In the main panel, click Abort Replication. A message indicates whether the task succeeded or failed.

Detaching a secondary volume

When using the replication feature, if you chose to create a replication set's primary and secondary
volumes in the primary system, you can perform the initial replication and then physically move the
secondary volume's vdisk into the secondary system.
The process to move a secondary volume is:
1. In the system where the secondary volume resides:
a. Detach the secondary volume.
b. If the secondary volume's vdisk contains other secondary volumes, detach those volumes.
