About Resumed Remote Replications
When a remote virtual disk replication is suspended, data continues to write
to the primary virtual disk, but is not replicated to the secondary virtual disk.
Writes to the primary virtual disk are persistently logged to the replication
repository virtual disks.
After communications are restored, data transfer between the primary virtual
disk and the secondary virtual disk must be resynchronized.
Depending on which resynchronization method you specify, the following occurs:
Automatic resynchronization
—Data transfer automatically starts
immediately after the virtual disks are resynchronized.
Manual resynchronization
—You must manually resume the remote virtual
disk replication to restart the data transfer. A suspended remote virtual disk
replication stays in a Suspended status until it is manually resumed.
