After restoring operations at Site B, you can schedule a failback operation to
synchronize data and to enable production to resume at your original site, Site A.
Before you run a failback operation, you must create paths from Site B to Site A
between the specific LSSs.
For this scenario, assume that Site A is operational and that connectivity from Site
B to Site A is available. Use this procedure to restart your production environment
