Figure 6 Example of source-volume failure If the source volume becomes available again, you can move the external view back to that volume. 1. Take a snapshot of the original external-view volume. This preserves the volume's current data state for later comparison with the new external view. 2. Make the original external-view volume a replication destination volume. 3. Replicate any data written to the new external-view volume to the original external-view volume (now a replication destination volume). This can be done as one or more replications. On the final replication, halt host access to the external-view volume to ensure that all data has been transferred to the replication destination volume. 4. Move the external view to the replication destination volume (which was the original external view). 5. You can now mount the snapshot taken in step 1 and compare it with the new external view to identify any data discrepancies and try to recover any data from the snapshot that would otherwise be lost. For example, you could use host file-system tools to find any files modified since a certain time, or for a database you could export any differing records from the snapshot and re-enter them into the current database. Remote replication licensing The Remote Replication and Snapshot features are separately licensed. Remote replication can operate without Snapshot being enabled; however, to get the most out of remote replication, it is recommended to enable both features. Normally, replication snapshots are not accessible to hosts. However, if Snapshot is enabled, a replication snapshot can be exported for use as a standard snapshot.

Example of source-volume failure

If the source volume becomes available again, you can move the external view back to that volume.

Take a snapshot of the original external-view volume. This preserves the volume's current data state for

later comparison with the new external view.

Make the original external-view volume a replication destination volume.

Replicate any data written to the new external-view volume to the original external-view volume (now a

replication destination volume). This can be done as one or more replications. On the final replication,

halt host access to the external-view volume to ensure that all data has been transferred to the

replication destination volume.

Move the external view to the replication destination volume (which was the original external view).

You can now mount the snapshot taken in

step 1

and compare it with the new external view to identify

any data discrepancies and try to recover any data from the snapshot that would otherwise be lost. For

example, you could use host file-system tools to find any files modified since a certain time, or for a

database you could export any differing records from the snapshot and re-enter them into the current

database.

Remote replication licensing

The Remote Replication and Snapshot features are separately licensed. Remote replication can operate

without Snapshot being enabled; however, to get the most out of remote replication, it is recommended to

enable both features. Normally, replication snapshots are not accessible to hosts. However, if Snapshot is

enabled, a replication snapshot can be exported for use as a standard snapshot.
