Promote a Volume to a Downstream Replication Partner
- Replicate the volume collection from the source array to the target array (downstream replication partner).
- Demote the volume collection on the source array, and promote the volume collection on the target array.
- Modify the ACL on the host to unmask the volume collection on the target array.
-
For iSCSI arrays, use the connection manager to connect the
replicated volume on the target array to the host.
NOTE: Using the connection manager is not required for Fibre Channel arrays. The volume will appear automatically. If it does not, rescan the disks using Disk Management.
-
Type the following PowerShell cmdlet to clear the flags and
attributes set during the replication process:
Example using a serial number:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Set-NimVolume -SerialNumber 215cf5c23eef6c326c9ce900f04e499e -Online $true -ReadOnly $false -Hidden $false -ShadowCopy $false -NoDefaultDriveLetter $false -ResetSnapshotInfo
Example using a disk ID:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Set-NimVolume -DiskID 3 -Online $true -ReadOnly $false -Hidden $false -ShadowCopy $false -NoDefaultDriveLetter $false -ResetSnapshotInfo
The flags and attributes are reset on the target (replicated) volume, and the volume becomes visible to the replication partner.
