Suspending a replication

You can suspend replication operations for a specified replication set (Provisioning > Volumes) by selecting the slide-over to access the Replications panel.

If the replication is in progress, click next to the progress indicator. If the replication is in an unsynchronized or ready state, click Suspend Replication.

You can suspend replications only from the primary system of a replication set.

When you suspend a replication set, all replications in progress are paused and no new replications are allowed to occur. The replication set will stay in a suspended state until you resume () or abort () the replication.

Resuming the replication set continues the replications that were in progress and allows new replications to occur. Aborting the replication set cancels the replication. For more information, see Aborting a replication set or Resuming a replication.

If replications are attempted while the operation is suspended, such as manual or scheduled replications, the replications will fail. ‌
