Promote a Volume Collection

Use this procedure only for snapshot replicated volume collections. You cannot promote a synchronously replicated volume collection.
IMPORTANT: You should only use promotion when the original array is unavailable.
NOTE: When promoting a volume collection, the ACLs are copied to the promoted set.
  1. Go to Manage → Data Protection.
  2. Select the volume collection that you want to promote.
  3. Click the ellipsis icon (…) and then Promote.
  4. Click OK.
  • Point your iSCSI initiators to the newly promoted volumes (members of the volume collection).
  • (Optional) Replicate the volume collection back to the original primary array from the newly promoted array.
  • Log into the original array (replication partner) and demote the original volume collection. See Demote a Volume Collection for more information.
