Before you can restore a replication link, both the primary system and the replica must have the required SSL certificates installed, as described in Configuring SSL for replication.
To restore a replication link after a system failure:
1.In the top-level menu in the HCP System Management Console for the system on which the link configuration still exists, mouse over Services to display a secondary menu.
2.In the secondary menu, click on Replication.
3.On the replication Overview page, click on the name of the link you want to restore.
4.In the panel that opens, click on the Link tab.
5.If necessary, update the link configuration. You need to do this only if the domain name or IP addresses of the other system have changed.
If the domain name of the other system has not changed, do not replace the displayed IP addresses with the domain name.
For instructions on updating the link configuration, see Modifying replication link settings.
6.In the replication Link panel, click on the Failover tab.
7.In the Failover panel, click on the Restore Link button.

Note: If you don’t see the Restore Link button, wait a few minutes and then redisplay the Replication page. Before the System Management Console can display this button, HCP needs to recognize that the other system is available, has the necessary SSL certificates installed, and isn’t aware of the existing link. |
For a cross-release link, a pending link request appears on the other system involve in the link. You respond to this request the same way you do to an initial request to create a link. For information on responding to a link request, see Handling cross-release link requests.
