Pausing Synchronization or Reverse Synchronization
This section describes how to pause synchronization or reverse synchronization when system services are busy. In this way, the storage system can temporarily stop copying data from the source object to the target LUN or copying data from the target LUN to the source object. In off-peak hours, you can resume synchronization or reverse synchronization.
