Manually Resynchronizing A Replicated Pair
A manual resynchronization operation forces the immediate resynchronization of the data on all replicated pairs in the
Remote Replication group. A manual resynchronization must be performed by the storage array that is acting in the
primary role for the Remote Replication group.
• You cannot perform a manual resynchronization until the minimum wait time between synchronizations has
elapsed.
• You cannot manually resynchronize a suspended Remote Replication group.
To manually synchronize a replicated pair:
1. In the All Storage Arrays folder, select the storage array that contains the Remote Replication group to manually
resynchronize.
2. In the Remote Replication Groups table, select a Remote Replication group to manually re-synchronize.
3. Select the confirmation check box.
4. Click OK.
The Remote Replication Groups table shows the status of the Remote Replication group as Initial Sync. The
Replicated Pairs table no longer shows the replicated pair.
To show the replicated pair in the Replicated Pairs table, select the Remote Replication group in the Remote
Replication Groups table. The Replicated Pairs table shows the primary and secondary virtual disks and the
repository status of the replicated pair.
Storage Array Event Log
The MD vCenter Plug-in allows you to view the Event Log for a storage array.
NOTE: If the file is locked, you can create a copy of the file with a different name, then open the copied file.
Accessing The Event Log
To access the event log:
1. Click View Event Log in the storage array Summary window.
You can set filters in the Event Log to show events (all or only critical), view details for a selected event and specify
the number of events to retrieve. By default, the Event Log retrieves the most recent 100 events. However, from the
Retrieve the most recent events drop-down list, you can specify a specific number of events to retrieve.
2. After making any changes to the Event Log Viewer, click Update.
