9.10.3 Enabling LV-AFO for a Live Volume
To enable LV-AFO, edit the settings for a Live Volume. Under Replication Attributes, make sure the Type is
set to Synchronous and Sync Mode is set to High Availability. Once the correct sync mode is set, the
Failover Automatically and Restore Automatically options become available at the bottom of the configuration
screen. Check the box to enable Failover Automatically, and this will by default enable Restore
Automatically as well. It is recommended to leave the Restore Automatically option enabled. This will
minimize the amount of time a Live Volume is vulnerable to failure after an automatic failover occurs and the
primary site comes back online. This will ensure that the Live Volume achieves a protected state as quickly as
possible (fully synchronized) allowing automatic failback to occur, given another DR event that affects the
secondary location.
