Disabling Protection for Secondary Resource
Once protection for the secondary resource of a remote replication pair is disabled, the application server can read and write to the secondary resource. This operation is mainly used when the secondary site takes over the service in DR scenarios.
Prerequisites
Running Status and Secondary Resource Data Status of the remote replication pair help you determine whether protection for the secondary resource can be disabled, as shown in Table 5-6.
