HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager User Guide (T3680-96089, October 2012)

Considerations
IMPORTANT: Do not suspend remote replication when the links are down, especially during an
unplanned failover. Doing so can create an invalid source-source configuration. See Invalid DR
group pair - source and source.
• You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI. See DR groups Actions cross reference.
• Guidelines apply. See Remote replication guidelines.
• To suspend remote replication in a DR group pair, you must specify the source DR group. See
DR group pair.
• You cannot suspend a DR group pair if it is failsafe-enabled. See DR groups Failsafe on
unavailable member.

1. In the navigation pane, select DR Groups.

Using DR groups
When using a DR group pair, some actions and properties require that you specify either the
source or destination. See the following tables: Controlling, Creating and deleting, Adding and
deleting virtual disks, and Editing (setting) properties.
