Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 27)

• Remotely replicated virtual disks on the recovery array are promoted to primary status
• Source virtual disks become read-only to the mapped hosts
• Virtual machines on the primary site are powered off
• Network resource configurations are applied to the virtual machines at the recovery site
In the event communication between the recovery site and the protected site is unavailable, the recovery plan is
executed and the following occurs:
• The remote replication relationship of the affected virtual disks is broken, requiring a complete
resynchronization when communication is re-established
• The virtual machines at the protected site are not powered off and might cause network issues when the
network link is re-established
