Splitting a Remote Replication Consistency Group

This operation enables you to split all remote replication pairs in a consistency group at the same time. A complete point-in-time duplicate is generated for primary resources of the remote replication pairs, and can be used for report generation, testing, data mining, decision-making, and data recovery.

Precautions

Running Status of the remote replication consistency group supports splitting. Table 1 shows in which status remote replication pairs in a consistency group can be split.
