Pausing Synchronizing or Reversely Synchronizing a Clone Pair
This section describes how to pause synchronizing or reversely synchronizing a clone pair when system services are busy. In this way, the storage system can temporarily stop synchronizing data from the source object to the target LUN or reversely synchronizing data from the target LUN to the source object. In off-peak hours, you can resume synchronization or reverse synchronization.
Prerequisites
- Health Status of the clone pair is Normal.
