Change the Synchronization Mode for a Replication

Use the Edit Replication dialog box to change the sync mode of a synchronous replication or a synchronous simulated replication. The synchronization mode can be changed with no service interruption. The replication temporarily becomes unsynchronized when the synchronization mode is changed.

Prerequisites

The replication or simulated replication must be a synchronous replication.

    • High Availability Mode: Accepts IO requests to the source volume when the destination volume is unavailable (or when latency is too high) to avoid interrupting service. However, if writes are accepted to the source volume, the destination volume data becomes stale.
    • High Consistency Mode: Prevents IO requests to the source volume when the destination volume is unavailable to ensure that the volumes remain identical. However, the source volume cannot be modified during this time, which can interrupt operations.
