Test DR Activation for a Single Restore Point
To test DR activation for a replication, use the corresponding restore point.
Prerequisites
• The restore point must be associated with a replication. Live Volume restore points cannot be tested.
• The destination volume must be present on the remote Storage Center. If the destination volume for a replication restore point is
missing, it cannot be tested.
• A server must be present at the DR site to perform test-activation.
Steps
1. Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2. Click the Restore Points tab.
3. Right-click the restore point, then select Test Activate Disaster Recovery. The Test Activate Disaster Recovery dialog box
appears.
If the restore point corresponds to a synchronous replication, the dialog box displays additional information about the state of
the replication:
• The Sync Data Status eld displays the synchronization status for the replication at the time the restore point was
validated.
• A recommendation about whether the destination volume is currently synchronized with the source volume is displayed
below the Sync Data Status eld in green or yellow text.
