The following table describes the different states in a volume replication:
Transfer status (mirrorState)
Overall state
Preparing
The volume replication is created and the initial replication
operation begins and is in progress.
The amount of transferred data displays in Google Cloud console. Status
updates occur in five minute increments.
Mirrored
The volume replication is created and the volume replication
operation is completed.
Transferring
The volume replication is created and an incremental replication
operation is in progress. The amount of transferred data displays in
Google Cloud console. Status updates are provided in five-minute increments.
Stopped
The volume replication was stopped by the user, which allows the
destination volume to become writeable.
The size of the destination volume is set independent of the source
volume. This state is required if you want to permanently delete a
volume replication relationship.
Use the following instructions to view replication details of the source or
destination volume using either the Google Cloud console or Google Cloud CLI.
Console
Go to NetApp Volumes page in the Google Cloud console.
Click the name of the source or destination volume.
Select the Replication tab.
If the volume is part of a replication, details of the replication appear.
Google Cloud console displays the names of the source and destination volumes. The
partner volume's name appears as a clickable link which directs you to its
volume details page. For cross-project replication, the link to the partner
volume doesn't work. You need to navigate to the partner volume manually.
gcloud
View the details of a replication using the following command:
Click the source volume. The Details page appears.
Select the Replication tab.
Select Edit replication.
In the Edit replication dialog, update the replication schedule
field.
Click Save.
Delete a volume replication
When you delete a replication, it removes the replication relationship between
the source and destination volume. After the replication deletes, both volumes
continue to exist independently with the current data they contain.
Considerations
When you delete a replication, NetApp Volumes also deletes the
common replication snapshots of source and destination volume. You can't resume
a replication relationship for the two volumes again but you can create a new
replication with either of them. When you create a new replication, it
creates a new destination volume as part of the process.
Delete a replication
Use the following instructions to delete a replication using the
Google Cloud console:
Go to NetApp Volumes page in the Google Cloud console.
