How can i failback a server which is failedover a long back.The problem is there are some devices allocated(while group is in failed over state) to this server(DR) those are not part of SRDF so now i have to create same size devices on the primary side and replicate data from R2 to R1(update until some tracks) and failback).Can we add the devices to device group in failedover state.Can someone give me the steps to do this.
From what I have read I believe the cleanest way to have done this is as per below, however as per the last comment I would recommend you consult support before performing any of these actions
1. Do a swap , so this makes the R2 (Target) the R1 (Source) and the R1 (Source) the R2 (Target)
2. You can then add your 2 devices at this stage
3. Allow Devices to Synchronize
4. Perform a Failover
5. Do a Swap, returns back to your previous state, except now you have the 2 devices added, and the data from the orignal R2 is now on the original R1
