From the primary site, change the status of replication group CR to perform the split operation. This triggers Replication Plug-in for Containers to split all the TrueCopy or Universal Replicator pairs in the copy group managed by the parent replication group.

The data copy process from the primary site to the secondary site is stopped during the split operation.

Verify that the desiredState of all the replication CRs is in none state at both the sites.
Verify that the desiredState of all the replication group CRs is in none state at both the sites.

Edit the replication group CR. Enter:

# KUBECONFIG=${KUBECONFIG_P} kubectl edit replicationgroup <replication-group-name>

Update the value for the desiredPairState parameter to split.
For example:
```
spec:
  desiredPairState: split
```
Verify that the replication group CR status is Split and the Operation value is none. Enter:
```
# KUBECONFIG=${KUBECONFIG_P} kubectl get replicationgroup
NAME                         STATUS DESIREDSTATE  OPERATION AGE
replicationgroup-sample      Split  split           none    6d20h
```
Note: The replication pair status for all copy groups managed by the replication group will be in the Split state.

Verify that the replication CR status is Split. Enter:

# KUBECONFIG=${KUBECONFIG_P} kubectl get replication
NAME                 STATUS DESIREDSTATE OPERATION AGE
replication-sample   Split  none         none      6d20h
