Accessing data on Secondary host

You can access data on the Secondary while replication is active by creating volumes with mirrors and breaking off the mirrors or by taking snapshots of all the data volumes in the RVG.

Note:

A valid license for Storage Foundation FlashSnap must be present on all the systems on which you want to use the snapshot operations.

Once the mirrors are broken off, these are stand-alone volumes and the data on them can be accessed for read-write operations. The advantage with snapshot volumes is that these volumes are associated to the original volume and you can reattach them back to the original volume.
