When the secondary device needs to take over services, disable protection for secondary resources to make resources readable and writable. At this time, roles of the primary and secondary resources in a remote replication pair stay unchanged but primary resources cannot synchronize data to secondary resources.
Prerequisites
Running Status and Secondary Resource Data Status of the remote replication pair support protection disablement. Table 1 describes in which status secondary resource protection can be disabled for a remote replication pair.
