Description
Delete—Select a protection, then click the Delete button to remove
configuration information for the selected protection.
When you click the Delete button, you will be prompted to either keep or
delete the associated replica virtual machine.
If you no longer want to protect the source and are no longer interested in
the target replica, then select the Delete the replica virtual machine files
on the target server option. Selecting this option will remove the Storge
Mirroring connection and completely delete the replica virtual machine.
If you no longer want to move data from the source to the target but still want
to keep the target replica, then select the Keep the replica virtual machine
files on the target server option. (For instance, you would use this option to
ship the VHDs elsewhere and then create a new job between the original
source and the remote.) When you select this option, the target files will be
preserved (provided that it has been fully synchronized). If the target is not
fully synchronized, related files will be kept on the target server but will not
be registered.
Note: Deleting a Storge Mirroring for Hyper-V protection while the source
host is offline will not remove the underlying Storge Mirroring connection. If
the source comes back online in the future, the Storge Mirroring connection
will reconnect, then it will begin sending data to the target. The connection
can be removed by opening the Replication Console, adding the source
server, right-clicking the connection, and clicking on Disconnect. This issue
can be avoided entirely by only deleting protections while the source host is
available.
Start protection—Select a protection, then click the Start button to enable
protection for the protection. When you click Start, Storge Mirroring begins a
difference mirror and replication.
If you have previously stopped protection and then click the Start button for
that protection job, Storge Mirroring will check to see if the source server
VHD files are the same as the target VHD files. If they are the same, Storge
Mirroring will resume protection starting with the Replication cycle,
bypassing the synchronization step. If they are not the same but there is a
file on target, Storge Mirroring will perform a difference synchronization.
If you have previously paused protection, the protection job will resume
where it left off.
