118 Using Remote Snap to replicate volumes
NOTE: The offline primary volume remains designated a Primary Volume.
To change the primary volume back to the original primary volume
1. On the primary system:
a. Create a standard snapshot (page 69) to preserve the primary volume's last data level.
b. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the primary volume and select Provisioning > Set
Replication Primary Volume.
c. In the main panel, select the primary volume in the list.
d. Click Set Replication Primary Volume. A message indicates whether the task succeeded or failed.
2. On the secondary system:
a. Replicate the secondary volume (page 111) to synchronize at the last valid common sync point. This
will replicate any data changes made in the secondary volume back to the original primary volume.
NOTE: An administrator can mount this snapshot and the snapshot taken in step 1 and compare
them to verify any discrepancies.
b. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the secondary volume and select Provisioning > Set
Replication Primary Volume.
c. In the main panel, select the primary volume in the list.
d. Click Set Replication Primary Volume. A message indicates whether the task succeeded or failed.
3. On the primary system:
a. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the primary volume and select Provisioning > Set

it succeeded, in the Configuration View panel the primary volume is designated the Primary Volume
and the secondary volume is re-designated the Secondary Volume.
Viewing replication properties, addresses, and images for a volume
In the Configuration View panel, right-click a volume and select View > Overview. The Volume Overview
table shows:
• As described in Viewing information about a volume on page 94: the capacity and space usage of the
volume; the quantity of mappings for the volume; and the quantity of task schedules for the volume
• The quantity of replication addresses for the volume
• The quantity of replication images for the volume
