Forcing a Secondary Logical Drive to Change to a Primary Logical Drive

Select Yes on the Change to Primary - Error dialog to force the software to promote the selected secondary logical drive to a primary role.

Use this option when a catastrophic failure has occured to the storage subsystem that contains the primary logical drive , the primary storage subsystem cannot be contacted, and you want to promote the secondary logical drive so that hosts can access data and business operations can continue. When the remote storage subsystem has recovered and any communication problems have been resolved, there will be a Dual Primary error condition. Use Recovery Guru to recover from this error.

Consider using this option when no catastrophic failure has occured to the storage subsystem that contains the primary logical drive, but you want to perform a role reversal for some other reason and a communication problem between the local and remote sites is preventing the demotion of the primary logical drive at the remote site. When the communication problem has been resolved, there will be a Dual Primary error condition. Use Recovery Guru to recover from this error.
