This wizard causes the direction of a replication to be reversed so that the secondary replicates to the primary.
CAUTION:
When a replication is swapped, the secondary becomes writeable and the primary becomes read-only.
Note:
- If the swap cannot be completed then the replication pair enters the SSWS (suspended for swapping) state until the swap can be completed. The swap operation must be re-done by the user to complete a suspended swap.
- The flow direction of a replication pair should ONLY be determined by referring to the Storage Inventory. Primary and secondary volume information shown in the Log Attachments Dialog should not be used to infer the flow direction following a swap.
