HCP System Management Help
Shutting down replication links on an HCP system stops all activity on all links in which the system participates. You cannot shut down an individual link.
While links are shut down:
•No replication or recovery activity occurs on the links.
•The system on which the links are shut down cannot read or repair objects from other HCP systems.
•Other HCP systems cannot read or repair objects from the system on which the links are shut down.
•The system on which the links are shut down can still service requests that are redirected from other HCP systems in the replication topology.
•You cannot change which HCP tenants and namespaces, default-namespace directories, and inbound links are included in the links.
•An alert indicating that all links are shut down appears on the Overview page in the System Management Console for the system on which the links are shut down.
•A message indicating that all links are shut down appears at the top of the Replication page in the System Management Console for the system on which the links are shut down.
You may want to shut down replication links, for example, if you need to temporarily dedicate as much network bandwidth as possible to applications that are unrelated to HCP. Additionally, your authorized HCP service provider may ask you to shut down all links for certain system upgrade scenarios.
When you shut down all replication links, you are required to specify a reason for the action.
To restart activity on replication links after you’ve shut them down, you need to reestablish the links. Reestablishing the links returns each link to the state it was in before you shut down the links. If a link was active when you shut down all links, it becomes active again when you reestablish the links. If a link was suspended when you shut down all links, it remains suspended when you reestablish the links.

1.In the top-level menu in the HCP System Management Console, mouse over Services to display a secondary menu.
