Pausing and resuming replication
Use the following procedures to pause or resume replication between an active and a replica instance. The replication connection status must be Connected to pause or resume replication.
Warning:
If you pause replication, the data between the active and the replica instances becomes out of sync. The longer that replication is paused, the longer it takes for the data to sync again when you resume. Only pause replication when it is specifically required for maintenance activities on the instances or the appliances.
To pause replication
- Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console on either appliance.
- Navigate to the Remote replication page and locate the instance that you want to pause. Under Replication status, click Pause.
Alternatively, you can navigate to the Application instances section of the System topology page. Locate the instance that you want to pause and click Actions > Pause.
To resume replication
- Sign in to the Flex Appliance Console on the appliance where the active instance is located.
- Navigate to the Remote replication page and locate the instance that you want to resume. Under Replication status, click Resume replication.
Alternatively, you can navigate to the Application instances section of the System topology page. Locate the instance that you want to resume and click Actions > Resume replication.
You are redirected to the Activity Monitor to view the progress.
Note:
As part of the resume operation, the appliance checks for the following configuration changes on the active instance: an instance upgrade or update, add-on installations or updates, and storage resizes. It attempts to make the same changes on the replica. Once those changes have been made on the replica, replication resumes.
