If storage devices change, but the changes are not synchronized to eReplication in a timely manner, you need to refresh this changed information before executing DR recovery. The resource information can be refreshed in either way: periodical polling using eReplication or manual refreshing.
Precautions
- When a storage device is refreshed, the authentication information of the ProtectManager is verified. If the authentication fails, an alarm is generated, but the refresh result of the storage device is not affected.
- When a storage device is refreshed, a resource scanning task is generated to synchronize the storage data to ProtectManager.
- After the storage device is refreshed, the system checks whether the ransomware protection license is imported to the storage device. If the ransomware protection license is not imported, the system sends an alarm.
Context
