Suspend Remote Replication

Description

This command suspends a Remote Replication operation.

NOTE: This command is valid only with Fibre Channel storage arrays.

Syntax

suspend remoteReplication (primary
                                 [
                                 primaryVirtualDiskName] |
                                 primaries [
                                 primaryVirtualDiskName1 ...
                                    primaryVirtualDiskNameN
                                 ])
                                 writeConsistency=(TRUE | FALSE)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`primary or primaries`	The name of the virtual disk for which you want to suspend operation. Enclose the virtual disk name in square brackets ([ ]). If the virtual disk name has special characters, also enclose the virtual disk name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
`writeConsistency`	This parameter defines whether the virtual disks identified in this command are in a writeconsistency group or are separate. For the virtual disks in the same write-consistency group, set this parameter to `TRUE`. For the virtual disks that are separate, set this parameter to `FALSE`.

NOTE: If the writeConsistency parameter is set to TRUE, the virtual disks must be in a write-consistency group (or groups). This command suspends all write-consistency groups that contain the virtual disks. For example, if virtual disks A, B, and C are in a write-consistency group and they have remote counterparts A’, B’, and C’, the command:
```
suspend remoteReplication virtualDisk [“A”]
                                          writeConsistency=TRUE
                                       
```
suspends A-A’, B-B’, and C-C’. If you have a write-consistency group 1={A, B, C} and write-consistency group 2={D, E, F}, the command:
```
suspend remoteReplication virtualDisks [“A” “D”]
                                          writeConsistency=TRUE
                                       
```
suspends both write-consistency groups.
