6. Select Finish.

The ARG table shows the status of the group as Initial Sync.

Changing Roles

The Change Roles option promotes the current secondary replication group to the primary role and

demotes the current primary replication group to the secondary role. After roles are changed, hosts

mapped to the former primary Virtual Disks in the Asynchronous Replication Groups (ARG) no longer

have write access to the Replicated Virtual Disks. Hosts in the ARG that was promoted to the primary role

now have write access to the Replicated Virtual Disks.

NOTE: If the ARG is not resynchronized, data written to primary Virtual Disks after the last

synchronization is lost and cannot be recovered.

To change roles, do the following:

1. Select the ARG within the Asynchronous Replication Groups window.

2. Click Change Roles command.

a) The Confirm Change dialog box is displayed.

b) The Resynchronize replication group now check box is selected by default. To prevent the

resynchronization, clear the check box.

3. Select the confirmation box.

4. Click OK.

The ARG window shows the role change for the ARG. In the Replicated Pairs window, the primary

and secondary Virtual Disks in the ARG have switched roles.

Suspending Asynchronous Replication

When replication is suspended, the Virtual Disks in the Replicated pairs cannot synchronize data. The

suspend-replication operation must be performed by the storage array in the primary role for the

Asynchronous Replication Group. To suspend replication, do the following:

1. Select the Asynchronous Replication Group from the Asynchronous Replication Groups window.

2. Click Suspend Replication command.

3. Select the confirmation box.
