Migration and takeover of primary replication role

Migration refers to the planned transfer of the role of primary replication host from one cluster to a remote cluster. This transfer enables the application on the remote cluster to actively use the replicated data. The former primary cluster becomes free for maintenance or other activity.

Takeover occurs when an unplanned event (such as a disaster) causes a failure, making it necessary for the applications using the replicated data to be brought online on the remote cluster.
