Reversing replication direction

If you added a failover node at the original secondary site and migrated the RVG (See Preparing the existing DR environment.), move the global application service group back to the original primary site and reverse the direction of replication. These actions switch the Primary and Secondary sites back to their original roles.

To reverse the replication direction

  1. In the Service Groups tab of the Cluster Explorer configuration tree, right-click the service group that is online at the current primary site.
  2. Click Switch To, and click Remote switch.
  3. In the Switch global group dialog box:

    • Click the cluster to switch the group to.

    • Click the specific system where you want to bring the global application service group online.

    • Click OK.
