Suspend Replication Manually

You can manually suspend replication for system maintenance operations.

To manually suspend replication

1. From the Manager, select the Replica you want to suspend. Then, click Suspend , or select the Suspend Replication option from the Tools menu.

   A confirmation message appears, informing you that any change of the Replica root directories content during suspension requires manual resynchronization.

2. Click Yes to suspend the replication.

   After the Replica is suspended, a red icon appears next to the Replica on the Scenario pane.

   Note: During suspension, the scenario state does not change but stays Running, since it is only the replication to the Replica that is suspended.

   On the Scenario Statistics pane, a suspension icon and a caption appear, informing you that replication is suspended.

3. While replication is suspended, you may perform maintenance on the Replica server, including restarting the Replica server. However, it is very important not to modify the replicated data in any way or a resynchronization with the Master will be required.

   Note: You can issue a synchronization command while a Replica is suspended; however, it is performed only after the replication is resumed.
