protectedpath modify

This command can be used to:

  • Deactivate a protected path. This pauses snapshots and replication according to the protection policy associated with the protected path.

  • Activate a protected path if it was previously deactivated. This resumes snapshots and replication according to the protection policy associated with the protected path.

  • Initiate a failover in a native replication scenario. This must be done from the destination peer's VMS.

  • Abort a graceful failover during the first phase of the failover when the protected data is read-only on both peers.

  • Change the name of a protected path.

In native replication, where the protected path is mirrored on the destination peer, activation/deactivation can be done from either peer. Failover is initiated from the destination peer.

Usage - Name Change
protectedpath modify  --id ID
                     [--name NAME]
                     [--activate]
                     [--deactivate]
                     [--modify-replication-state]
                     [--abort-modify-replication-state]
                     [--graceful]
                     [--ungraceful]
Required Parameters

--id ID

Specify the protected path by its ID.
Options

--name NAME

Changes the name of the protected path.

--activate

Activates a protected path if previously deactivated.

--deactivate

Deactivates a protected path.

--modify-replication-state

Initiates a failover. Must be run from the destination peer and used with either --graceful or --ungraceful to specify the type of failover.

--abort-modify-replication-state

Aborts a failover. Must be run from the destination peer. The abort operation is supported for graceful failovers during the read-only phase.

--graceful

Specifies failover type as graceful. Use in addition to --modify-replication-state to initiate failover.

--ungraceful

Specifies failover type as ungraceful. Use in addition to --modify-replication-state to initiate failover.
Example

This example suspends a protected path whose ID is 1.

vcli: admin> protectedpath modify --id 1 --deactivate

This example starts a graceful failover on protected path with ID 3.

vcli: admin> protectedpath modify --id 3 --modify-replication-state --graceful
