• Before you can make a template replica set promotion permanent, you must permanently promote all the attached thin clone
replica sets.
• You must specify:
– A new volume name, must be unique name in the group
Name can be up to 63 bytes and is case-insensitive. You can use any printable Unicode character except for ! " # $ % & ' ( )
* + , / ; < = > ?@ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~. First and last characters cannot be a period, hyphen, or colon. Fewer characters are
accepted for this eld if you type the value as a Unicode character string, which takes up a variable number of bytes,
depending on the specic character.
– Access control credentials for the recovery volume
Specify a CHAP user name, IP address, or iSCSI initiator name.
– Whether to allow initiators with dierent iSCSI qualied names (IQNs) access to the volume
To make an inbound replica set promotion permanent:
1. Click Volumes, expand Volumes, and select the recovery volume.
2. Click Make promote permanent.
3. Change the information in the Convert recovery volume – Volume settings dialog box:

When the operation completes, the recovery volume is converted to a volume.
Convert a Failback Replica Set to an Inbound Replica Set
The nal step in the procedure for switching roles in a volume replication conguration is to permanently convert the volume’s
failback replica set to an inbound replica set. The following restrictions apply:
• You must perform this operation on the primary group.
• After you convert a failback replica set to an inbound replica set, you cannot promote the inbound replica set to the original
volume.
• When the conversion completes, the replica set continues to appear in the Replication Partner – Inbound window, but it is no
longer a failback replica set.
To convert a failback replica set to an inbound replica set:
1. Click Replication.
2. Expand the partner.
3. Expand Volume Replication.
4. Expand Inbound Replicas.
5. Select the failback replica set.
6. Click Convert to replica set.
7. Conrm that you want to convert the replica set.
