enable automatic failover and automatic restore, or enable reporting of non-optimized paths.

Modifying Live Volumes
Modify a Live Volume if you want to change replication attributes, Live Volume attributes, convert it to a replication, or delete it.
Swap the Primary Storage Center for a Live Volume
If the secondary Storage Center is receiving more IO for a Live Volume than the primary Storage Center, swap roles to improve
performance. If an outage is planned at the site where the primary
Storage Center is located, swap roles before the outage to make sure
there is no interruption to volume availability. After swapping roles, save restore points to make sure that the restore point for the Live
Volume stays current.
Steps
1 Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2 On the Live Volumes tab, select the Live Volume, then click Swap Primary Storage Center of Live Volume. The Swap Primary
Storage Center of Live Volume dialog box appears.
3 Click OK.
Next step
Save restore points to make sure that the restore point for the Live Volume stays current. See Save Replication Restore Points for One or
More Storage Centers.
Change the Replication Type for a Live Volume
The replication type used by a Live Volume can be changed with no service interruption.
Prerequisites
• The source and destination Storage Centers must be running version 6.5 or later.
• If the Live Volume manages a synchronous replication, the replication type for the Live Volume must be asynchronous.
