Migrating the Primary role

Migrating the Primary role involves interchanging the role of a healthy Primary with that of a Secondary, when the application that is involved in replication is inactive. You can also plan to change the role of the Primary if you need to perform some maintenance activities or some other configuration changes to the Primary. To migrate successfully, the data between the Primary and the Secondary must be up-to-date.

Volume Replicator provides options from the GUI as well as the command line to migrate a healthy Primary. The migrate operation involves migrating the Primary role of an RVG to a Secondary, thus converting the Secondary RVG to a Primary RVG.
