HCP System Management Help


Handling cross-release link requests

When you create an outbound active/passive link between a release 7.0 HCP system and a release 6.x HCP system, the primary system sends a link request to the replica. The administrator for the replica must accept the request before replication can start on the link.

Before a link request is accepted:

On the primary system, the link has a status of Pending remote reply

On the replica, the link has a status of Pending

In the HCP System Management Console for the replica, the Overview page displays an alert indicating that a link request is pending

At this point, any of these can happen:

The system administrator for the primary system can update the link properties or specify content for the link. For information on doing this on a release 7.0 primary system, see Modifying a pending cross-release link on a 7.0 primary system.

The system administrator for the primary system can cancel the link request. For information on doing this on a release 7.0 primary system, see Canceling a cross-release link request on a 7.0 primary system

The system administrator for the replica can accept or reject the link. For information on doing this on a release 7.0 primary system, see Accepting or rejecting a pending cross-release link on a 7.0 replica.

For information on taking the above actions on a release 6.x system, see Replicating Tenants and Namespaces for the applicable release.
