IMPORTANT:
The failsafe on unavailable member setting for a DR group pair can impact host I/O and data
consistency between the source and destination DR groups. Ensure that you understand the potential
impacts of changing the mode.
Procedure

.
HP recommends not failing over a DR group pair more often than every 15 minutes.
To fail over a DR group pair, you must specify the destination DR group. See
DR group pair
.
You cannot fail over a DR group pair if remote replication is suspended or if a remote copy (virtual
disk) is in an unknown state. See DR groups
suspension state
and virtual disks
resource states
.
If supported by controller software, an option is available to suspend remote replication after the
failover. See
controller software features - remote replication
