Reverse Replication in Recovery Point (Failover)

Question

Hi Guys, Reversing the direction of replication permanently (rather than just failing over and failing back) in Recovery Point. (VMAX20k - RECOVERPOINT 3.4) Presently we are Replicating from Site A to Site B using Recovery Point Consistency Group, instead of using test a copy or something, we would like to Reverse Replicate the Consistency Group (Site B should become Permanently  Primary and Site A should be Permanently Secondary). How would we do it ? (Does Fail over can do this Permanently). If there is any Document or some thing, kindly share the Step By Step Procedure. Does this have any Down time? Regards, JAY

Hi Jay, Initiating Failover does this permanently. Regards, Rich

In terms of documentation - you should find the process in the 3.4 Admin guide in case that assists you.

Hi Guys, How Many Maximum PARALLEL Copies can we set for Cut over in RecoveryPoint (TEST A COPY AND FAILOVER) at the same time (I heard it's 2 copies can be setup). i Have tested the test a copy and Failover on Test consistency Group (When i Failed over it showed me some options saying mount and unmount.) After the Faiover Non prod became prod and Prod became Non prod, do we guys have any white paper (I checked the guide it shows follow the procedure.) Regards, JAY

Only one copy can be selected as only copy can be Production. Regards, Rich
