The Replication Log(RL) maintains a record of data being replicated to the object store.

Issue

The RL replication log can become invalid in the following scenarios:

• Failback

...

• After Planned Failover (PFO)

• Resuming Continuous Rehydration

After failover is complete and the DRVA on the failover site has taken ownership of the protected domain, the replication log of the protected site is no longer used and will become invalid.

This example illustrates an invalid replication log section:

...

Solution

Considerations

Scenario 1: Failback After Planned Failover (PFO)

• The original replication log can no longer be used because it contains no free space leaving it in an invalid state.

  • The section used by PFO can be deleted to

...

• • release disk space on the

...

• • replication log which can then be reused.

Scenario 2: Resuming Continuous Rehydration

...

• The original replication log can continue to be used, or it can be deleted

...

• allowing the freed space

...

• to be repurposed.

Explanation

The RL on the protected site will no longer be used and will become invalid after failover is complete and the DRVA on the failover site has taken ownership of the protected domain.

• This is an example of an invalid RL section:
