From the Volume Relationships page, you can quiesce a protection relationship to temporarily prevent data transfers from
occurring. You might quiesce a relationship when you want to create a Snapshot copy of a
SnapMirror destination volume that contains a database, and you want to ensure that its
contents are stable during the Snapshot copy operation.
Before you begin
- You must have the Application Administrator or Storage Administrator role.
- You must have set up Workflow Automation.
About this task
The quiesce action does not display in the following instances:
- If RBAC settings do not allow this action; for example, if you have only operator privileges
- When the volume ID is unknown; for example, when you have an intercluster relationship and the destination cluster has not yet been discovered
- When you have not paired Workflow Automation and Unified Manager
