Allow Replicate Storage to Lowest Tier Selection During Initial Live Volume
Conguration
By default, the Replicate Storage To Lowest Tier option is only available when modifying an existing Live Volume. To allow this option to be
congured when Live Volumes are being created, modify the Data Collector settings.
1 In the top pane of the Storage Manager Client, click Edit Data Collector Settings. The Edit Data Collector Settings dialog box
appears.
2 Click the Replication Settings tab.
3 Select the Allow Select to Lowest Tier on Live Volume Create check box.
4 Click OK.
Allow a Live Volume to Automatically Swap Roles
Live Volumes can be congured to swap primary and secondary volumes automatically when certain conditions are met to avoid situations
in which the secondary volume receives more IO than the primary volume.
1 Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2 On the Live Volumes tab, select the Live Volume, then click Edit Settings. The Edit Live Volume dialog box appears.
3 Select the Automatically Swap Roles check box.
4 (Optional) Modify the default swap behavior by editing the Min Amount Before Swap, Min Secondary Percent Before Swap (%),
and Min Time As Primary Before Swap (Minutes) elds. These elds are described in the online help.
5 Click OK.

Revert a Live Volume to a Replication
If the remote Storage Center does not need to accept IO for the Live Volume, you can convert the Live Volume to a conventional
replication.
About this task
If the Live Volume manages a replication, the managed replication is converted into a non-managed replication when the Live Volume is
reverted.
Steps
1 Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2 On the Live Volumes tab, select the Live Volume, then click Revert to Replication. The Revert to Replication dialog box appears.
3 Click OK.
Pause a Live Volume
Pausing a Live Volume temporarily prevents volume data from being copied from the primary volume to the secondary volume. A Live
Volume can be paused only if replication to the secondary Storage Center is in progress.
1 Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2 On the Live Volumes tab, select the Live Volume, then click Pause. The Pausing Live Volume dialog box appears.
3 Click OK.
