Suspending and resuming activity on an individual link

You can suspend and resume replication or recovery activity on individual replication links. When you suspend activity on a link, HCP stops all send activity on the link. You might suspend activity on a link, for example, before making changes to system hardware or to the network over which the two systems involved in the link communicate with each other.

While send activity is suspended on a link, the applicable HCP tenants and namespaces and default-namespace directories on each system remain read-write or read-only, as applicable. Additionally, the link continues to support other functions such as read and repair from remote.

The replication service periodically checkpoints its progress. When you suspend activity on a link, no special checkpoint occurs. When you resume link activity, therefore, processing starts from the last checkpoint before the suspension.

To suspend or resume activity on a replication link:

1.In the top-level menu in the System Management Console for either the primary system or the replica, mouse over Services to display a secondary menu.

2.In the secondary menu, click on Replication.

3.On the replication Overview page, click on the name of the link on which you want to suspend or resume activity.

4.In the panel that opens, click on the Link tab.

5.In the replication Link panel, click on the Management tab.

6.In the link Management panel, click on the Suspend or Resume button, as applicable.
