Pause and resume a replication relationship in BlueXP workload factory

PDFs
Pause a replication relationship to stop scheduled replication updates from the source volume to the target volume. The target volume transitions from read-only to read/write. Both volumes continue to share the latest replication snapshot as a new baseline for later resynchronization.
When paused, the replication relationship between source and target volume continues to exist. Data transfers pause and the volumes become independent. To re-enable the transfer of changes from source volume to destination volume, resume the replication.
When you resume a replication, all the changes to the target volume are undone and BlueXP workload factory re-enables the replication. The target volume transitions from read/write to read-only, and receives updates from the source volume at the scheduled replication interval again. When you resume a replication relationship, the target volume reverts back to the latest initial replication snapshot, at which point, the volume replication process starts over.
If you pause when a transfer is in progress, the transfer is not affected, and the relationship becomes "Quiescing" until the transfer completes. If the current transfer aborts, it is now a future transfer and will not restart.
