Claim a Volume

Claiming a volume lets you take ownership of a formerly replicated volume that is no longer part of a volume collection on the downstream replication partner. Without claiming the volume, you cannot make any changes to the volume attributes.

Claiming a volume should be used if a primary upstream partner is no longer present and access to the replicated volume is required at the downstream site, or if you want to migrate this volume replica to a new volume collection belonging to the downstream partner system.

NOTE: This function is not supported with synchronously replicated volumes.
  1. Go to Manage → Data Storage.
  2. Check the checkbox next to the name of the volume to claim.
  3. On the volume details page, click More Actions → Claim.
