You can modify the settings of an existing Live Volume datastore.

Prerequisites

A Live Volume datastore must exist.

Steps

The Modify Replications/Live Volume wizard starts.

3. From the list of replications, select one to modify.

4. Click Next.

The Replication Options page opens.

5. To change the replication type, select a type from the drop-down menu.

NOTE: If you choose to change the replication type from a Live Volume to a replica, a warning

dialog box opens. You must select the check box to confirm that you want to make the

conversion, and then click OK.
