Editing a DR Task

For a DR task that has been created but not started, DRS allows you to edit the configuration information of the task, including the source and destination database details. For DR tasks in the following statuses, you can edit and submit the tasks again.

  • Creating
  • Configuration

Prerequisites

You have logged in to the DRS console.

Method 1

  1. In the task list on the Disaster Recovery Management page, locate the target task and click Edit in the Operation column.
  2. On the Configure Source and Destination Databases page, enter information about the service and DR databases and click Next.
  3. On the Check Task page, check the DR task.

    • If any check fails, review the failure cause and rectify the fault. After the fault is rectified, click Check Again.

      For details about how to handle check items that fail to pass the pre-check, see Solutions to Failed Check Items.

    • If the check is complete and the check success rate is 100%, go to the Compare Parameter page.

      You can proceed to the next step only when all checks are successful. If there are any items that require confirmation, view and confirm the details first before proceeding to the next step.

  4. On the displayed page, specify Start Time and DR instance details. Then, click Submit.

    NOTE:

    Starting a DR task may slightly affect the performance of the service and DR databases. You are advised to start a DR task during off-peak hours.

    • You can view the task status. For more information about task status, see Task Statuses.
    • You can click in the upper-right corner to view the latest task status.

  2. On the displayed page, click edit this task to go to the Configure Source and Destination Databases page.
