Blocking writing to the target paths
You can block writing to the paths on the target that contain the copy of the replication
set data. This keeps the data from being changed outside of Storage Mirroring Recover
processing. To block the replication set data paths on the target,
, and right-click the connection on the right pane of the Replication Console.
Select Block Target Path(s). To unblock the paths, right-click the connection and
deselect Block Target Path(s).
Note: If you are going to use failover, any target paths that are blocked will
automatically be unblocked during the failover process so that users can modify
data on the target after failover. During a restoration, the paths are automatically
blocked again. If you failover and failback without performing a restoration, the
target paths will remain unblocked. You can manually block or unblock the target
paths by right-clicking on a connection.
Do not block your target paths if you are protecting a full-server because system
state data will not be able to be written to the target.
