Enabling Protection for Secondary Resources in a Remote Replication Consistency Group

This operation enables you to enable protection for secondary resources of all remote replication pairs in a consistency group. After this operation, data cannot be written to secondary resources, ensuring secondary resource data security.

Prerequisites

Running Status of the remote replication consistency group and Secondary Resource Data Status of remote replication pairs in the consistency group support protection enablement. Table 1 shows in which status protection for secondary resources in a remote replication consistency group can be enabled.
