Virtual conversion is the process where Virtual Standby converts CA ARCserve D2D recovery points from source nodes to virtual machine data files named recovery point snapshots. In the event a source node fails, Virtual Standby uses the recovery point snapshots to power on a virtual machine for the source node.
As a best practice, allow the virtual conversion process to operate continuously. However, if you want to pause the virtual conversion process on local and remote Virtual Standby servers temporarily, you can do so from the Virtual Standby server. After you correct the problems on the source node, you can resume the virtual conversion process.
When you pause Virtual Standby jobs (conversion jobs), the pause operation does not pause the conversion job that is currently in progress. The pause operation applies to only the job that is expected to run at the end of the next CA ARCserve D2D backup job. As a result, the next conversion job does not start until you explicitly resume the (paused) conversion job.
Note: Optionally, you can pause and resume Virtual Standby jobs directly from the nodes. For more information, see Pause and Resume Virtual Standby Jobs from the Nodes.
Follow these steps:
Click the selected group, or click the nodes, and click Pause Virtual Standby or Resume Virtual Standby on the pop-up menu to resume conversion jobs.
