3 Select the Automatically Swap Roles check box.

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.
