Bring a Disk Resource On or Off-Line

After you create a disk resource, you must apply the license and then bring it online, which synchronizes the entire source node with the destination. After Synchronization is completed, all data changes are replicated in real time to the destination node. Replication status is readily available in the Runtime Status view.

To change a disk resource, you must take it off-line. Replication is temporarily suspended.

To bring a disk resource on and off-line

1. Select the disk resource you created from the Console Root list.
2. Click Online Arcserve RHA Disk Resource.
3. Click Runtime Status. Wait while status changes to Online and Stable. Synchronization Status starts at Initializing and when finished, changes to Finished.
4. If you wish to bring the disk resource off-line, click Offline Arcserve RHA Disk Resource.
5. Wait while Replication is halted.
6. Click Runtime Status, verify that status is Offline and Stopped.

   The disk resource is off-line.

   When you are ready to return the disk resource to its former status, select it and click Online Arcserve RHA Disk Resource. If desired, you may also Force synchronization.
