Resynchronizing a Secondary

Resynchronization starts the replay of an active DCM. Replay occurs for all RLINKs on which the dcm_logging flag is set. If any of these RLINKs are disconnected or paused, resynchronization is delayed until this condition clears. Detaching a disconnected or paused RLINK clears the dcm_logging flag, and enables resynchronization to proceed on any remaining RLINKs; however, a full synchronization of the other RLINK will be required. This task is distributed, that is, it can be executed from any host in the RDS.

For details, see Chapter 4, Administering Veritas Volume Replicator.
