Start/Suspend/Resume/Abort Data Replication Activity

• Data Replication Monitor

Before You Begin

• From the Replication Set level, if you suspend one Replication Pair, a prompt will ask if you want all Replication Pairs to be suspended. If you choose to do so, all Replication Pairs on that source computer which use the same destination computer will be placed in the Paused state, even those that are in different Replication Sets. When you Resume any one of the Replication Pairs that was placed in the Paused state, a prompt will ask if you want all Pairs to be resumed. If you choose to do so, all the Replication Pairs that were placed in the Paused state will Resume, and be placed back in the same state they were in previously.

Required Capability: Capabilities and Permitted Actions

To change the state of a Replication Pair:

Select one of the following methods:

• In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Pair, and select Start, Start Full Resync, Suspend, Resume, or Abort.

  NOTE: From the Replication Pair level, you cannot Suspend a Replication Pair that is in the Replicating state; instead, do this from the Replication Set level.

• You can also change the state of one or more Replication Pairs at once from the Replication Set level.
  1. In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Set in the source machine, and select All Tasks, then select Change State.
  2. In the Change States screen, select the Replication Pair(s), and click Start, Start Full Resync, Suspend, Resume, or Abort.
  3. When your changes are complete, click Close.

To suspend all data replication activity for a Replication Set:

1. In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Set in the source machine, and select All Tasks, then select Suspend Data Transfer.
2. Data replication activities are suspended for all Replication Pairs in the Replication Set.

NOTES

• To restart data replication activities, use the procedures above to start activity for one or more Replication Pair(s).
