Clearing Test Data

Prerequisites

• You have logged in to the eReplication as a user with DR management permission.
• The management system and DR environment at the DR site work correctly.
• At least one recovery plan has been created in the system.
• Before clearing a protected group whose protection type is database, ensure that all database connections at the DR site are disconnected.
• The recovery plan's status is Test completed, Test failed, or Clear failed.
• Programs and files on the file systems have been closed before clearing is performed for protected groups of the file system type.
• In the Oracle application, the database is disabled but the cluster is enabled by default on the eReplication Agent. If you need to disable clusters, modify the configuration of disabling clusters. For details, see Changing the Configuration of Stopping the Oracle Cluster.
• If storage devices, hosts or VMs on production site or DR site change, storage devices, hosts or VMs at the site where a protected group resides must be refreshed, for details, refer to Refreshing Resource Information.
  

  For FusionCompute VM protected groups, if a datastore fails to be deleted during test data clearing, check whether non-DR VMs or disks exist on the data store. If VMs or disks are found, remove or delete them.

Procedure

1. On the menu bar, select Utilization > Data Restore.
2. Select the recovery plan for which you want to clear data and click More > Clear on the Operation list.
3. Click OK.

Result

After the clearing starts, you can view the execution process and result. If the clearing fails, solve the problem and clear data again.
