Instructions

Set the target to consistent mode

If the target is set to inconsistent mode, set it back to consistent mode. As data is transferred from source to target, the SDR verifies that the data in the journal is consistent with the data from the source. The SDR then sends an apply command to the journal to prompt the SDR to send data to the volume.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Protection > RCGs.
  2. Click the relevant RCG check box, and click Modify > Set Target to Consistent Mode.
  3. In the Set Target to Consistent Mode RCG dialog box, click Apply.
  4. Verify that the operation has finished and was successful, and click Dismiss.
