Managed Replication After Live Volume Swap Role
In the following diagram, a swap role has occurred so the secondary Storage Center is on the left and the primary Storage Center is located on the right. The managed replication has moved to follow the primary volume.
Server
Server IO request to secondary volume (forwarded to primary Storage Center by secondary Storage Center)
Secondary volume (Live Volume)
Live Volume replication over Fibre Channel or iSCSI
Primary volume (Live Volume and managed replication)
Server IO request to primary volume over Fibre Channel or iSCSI
Server
Destination volume (managed replication)
Managed replication over Fibre Channel or iSCSI
