Replication groups inventory

Access the inventory of replication groups from the detail window for a storage system.

This window enables you to view all replication groups, sorted by technology:

• Snap on Snap
• Snap Clone
• Snap
• Clone

Use this window to:

• View replication policies applicable to a volume and all S-VOL details.
• View all replication policies.
• Suspend or resume a snapshot schedule.

  Data replication can be suspended and resumed. Data will be missing for the period of suspension.

• Suspend or resume a clone.

  Data replication can be resumed to update cloned data and then suspended to keep a point-in-time full copy.

• Remove a volume from a replication policy. Delete a replication group to remove the policy from all volumes in the group.

The following actions are available after selecting a replication group:

• Edit the replication group by clicking Edit to open the Edit Replication Group window and edit the label or remove volumes from the replication group.
• Suspend the replication group by clicking Suspend Replication Group. You cannot suspend a replication group that is in COPY status.
• Resume the replication group by clicking Resume Replication Group.
• Delete the replication group by clicking Delete.
  Note: If you detach all volumes that comprise a specific host group, the host group is also deleted.
