Disabling Protection

Scenarios

You can disable protection for all resources in a protection group.

After protection is disabled, data synchronization stops for all protected instances that meet the prerequisites in this group.

As data synchronization uses service resources (disk, CPU, and memory) and may affect production services, you can disable protection to stop data synchronization.

Prerequisites

• The protection group contains protected instances.
• The status of protected instances in the protection group is Synchronization finished, Synchronizing, or Disabling protection failed.
• Protected instance services are running at the production site.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click Service List and choose Storage > Storage Disaster Recovery Service.

   The Storage Disaster Recovery Service page is displayed.

3. Choose Asynchronous Replication. In the right pane, locate the replica pair housing the protection group you want to disable protection and click the number in the Protection Groups column.

   The Protection Groups tab page is displayed.

4. In the navigation tree, choose the target protection group.

   The protection group details page is displayed.

5. In the upper right corner of the basic information area, choose More > Disable Protection.

   

6. In the displayed dialog box, confirm the protected instance information and click Yes to disable protection. The protected instance status changes to Disabling protection.

   

7. After protection is disabled, the protected instance status changes to Pending protection.

   

   

   After protection is disabled, the agent still records differential data.
