Dell FluidFS V3 NAS Solutions For PowerVault NX3500, NX3600, And NX3610Administrator's Guide
Promoting a Target NAS Volume
When you resume replication, any replication operations that
were in progress at the time the operation was disabled will resume.
In addition, any replication schedules will resume at their next scheduled
time. Replication may be resumed for individual NAS volumes, but you
cannot resume all in‐progress replication operations taking place
in a FluidFS cluster, or between a specified pair of replication partners.
You can resume replication only from the source FluidFS cluster.
When you promote a target NAS volume, you have the option to demote it at a later time, thereby making the promotion temporary. Alternatively, you can permanently promote it. Promoting a target NAS volume to a recovery NAS volume makes the target NAS volume writable, and clients can manually fail over to it. This operation can be performed regardless of whether the source NAS volume is available. The recovery NAS volume’s data will be complete up to the point in time of the most recent successful replication.
When you promote a target NAS volume, any replication operations for the NAS volume that are in progress are suspended. You can promote a target NAS volume from either the source or target FluidFS cluster.

All NAS Volumes pane, click
in the row of the volume you want to promote.
