Administrator Guide

• Up: The replication is up and running normally.
• Degraded: There is something wrong with the replication. See to the State column information about why replication is no
longer running. This replication is eligible for DR.
• Down: The replication is not running. See to the State column information about why replication is no longer running. This
could be because the destination system is no longer available or that the source and Destination volume are no longer up
and running. This replication is not eligible for DR.
3. If one or more restore points are degraded or down, take corrective action.
• If a restore point is degraded, you can perform either of the following actions:
– Activate a DR site
– Restore or restart the replication to the source or destination Storage Center
• If a restore point is degraded or down because you purposefully deleted or aborted the corresponding replication, you can
delete the restore point. To do so, right-click the restore point, then select Delete.

Predening Disaster Recovery Settings for Replications
Predening DR for a replication restore point is an optional step that congures DR activation settings for a replication restore point

destination site, you do not need to predene DR settings. DR settings cannot be predened for Live Volume restore points.
