Running a Reprotect procedure

The Spectrum Virtualize Family SRA completely automates the reprotect procedure.

Before you run the Reprotect action, ensure that the status of the Metro Mirror/Global Mirror/Global Mirror with Cycling Mode is not disconnected. Refresh the SRM Array Managers Devices pane to ensure that no error messages occur.

The Metro Mirror/Global Mirror/Global Mirror with Cycling mode direction changes from the original recovery site to the original protection site, and the mirroring action resumes.

For SRA with a non-preconfigured setting, the volume of the original protection site is masked from the vSphere Server to avoid any damage to the volume. The original protection site consists of the target volume of the Metro Mirror/Global Mirror/Global Mirror with Cycling Mode.

The following tasks are required for the SRA reprotect procedure:

Ensure all the steps that are outlined in Configuring preconfigured environments are finished.
Ensure all the steps that are outlined in Configuring non-preconfigured environments are finished.
