Method Parameters (ModifyReplicaSynchronization)

Name	Type	Qualifiers
Name	Type	Name	Data Type	Value
Force	boolean
Force	boolean	Description	string	Some operations may cause an inconsistency among the target elements. If true, the client is not warned and the operation is performed.
Operation	uint16
		Description	string	Operation describes the type of modification to be made to the replica and/or to the related associations. Abort: Abort the copy operation if it is possible. Activate Consistency: if consistency was not requested when CreateGroupReplica was called. If Consistency is already active, no modification is made. Activate: Activate an inactive or prepared Synchronized association. AddSyncPair: Add pairs of elements already in a relationship to source and target groups -- see SyncPair parameter. Deactivate Consistency: Deactivate consistency. If consistency was not enabled, this operation has no effect. Deactivate: Stop the data flow. Writes to source element are not copied to target. For Snapshots, writes to target are lost as the pointers to changed data are deleted. Detach: 'Forget' the synchronization between two storage objects. Start to treat the objects as independent. Dissolve: Dissolve the synchronization between two storage objects, however, the target element continues to exist. Failover: Use the target element as the source elements. Failback: Reverse the effect of failback. Fracture: Suspend the synchronization between two storage objects. The association and (typically) changes are remembered to allow a fast resynchronization. This may be used during a backup cycle to allow one of the objects to be copied while the other remains in production. RemoveSyncPair: Remove the pair associated via StorageSynchronized from the source and target groups. The pair continue to remain associated but not in the groups. Resync Replica: Re-establish the synchronization. This will negate the action of a previous Fracture/Split operation. Recreate a Point In Time image for a Snapshot or a Clone replication. Restart a Broken or Aborted synchronization relationship. Restore from Replica: Renew the contents of the original storage object from a replica. Resume: Continue the copy operation of a suspended association. Reset To Sync: Change the Mode of the copy operation to Synchronous (e.g., from the Asynchronous Mode). Reset To Async: Change the Mode of the copy operation to Asynchronous (e.g., from the Synchronous Mode). Return to ResourcePool: Dissolve a snapshot and free up its space back to the storage pool. Reverse Roles: Source element becomes the target element and vise versa. Split: Same as Fracture, however steps are taken to ensure the target elements are consistent. For example, stop I/O to source elements, wait for in-transit copy operations between source and target elements to stop, then instantly split source/target groups/elements. Suspend: Stop the background copy previously started. Unprepare: note, this operation has been deprecated. Use "Prepare" instead. Prepare: Causes the synchronization to be reinitialized. Reset To Adaptive: Change the Mode of the copy operation to Adaptive.
		Required	boolean	true

		Description	string	Operation describes the type of modification to be made to the replica and/or to the related associations. Abort: Abort the copy operation if it is possible. Activate: Activate an inactive or prepared Synchronized association. Deactivate: Stop the data flow. Writes to source element are not copied to target. For Snapshots, writes to target are lost as the pointers to changed data are deleted. Detach: 'Forget' the synchronization between two storage objects. Start to treat the objects as independent. Dissolve: Dissolve the synchronization between two storage objects, however, the target element continues to exist. Failover: Use the target element as the source elements. Failback: Reverse the effect of failback. Fracture: Suspend the synchronization between two storage objects using Mirror or Snapshot replication. The association and (typically) changes are remembered to allow a fast resynchronization. This may be used during a backup cycle to allow one of the objects to be copied while the other remains in production. Resync Replica: Re-establish the synchronization. This will negate the action of a previous Fracture/Split operation. Recreate a Point In Time image for a Snapshot or a Clone replication. Restart a Broken or Aborted synchronization relationship. Restore from Replica: Renew the contents of the original storage object from a replica. Resume: Continue the copy operation of a suspended association. Reset To Sync: Change the Mode of the copy operations to Synchronous (e.g., from the Asynchronous Mode). Reset To Async: Change the Mode of the copy operations to Asynchronous (e.g., from the Synchronous Mode). Return to ResourcePool: Dissolve a snapshot and free up its space back to the storage pool. Reverse Roles: Source element becomes the target element and vise versa. Split: Same as Fracture, however steps are taken to ensure the target elements are consistent. For example, stop I/O to source elements, wait for in-transit copy operations between source and target elements to stop, then instantly split source/target groups/elements. Suspend: Stop the background copy previously started. Unprepare: note, this operation has been deprecated. Use "Prepare" instead. Prepare: Causes the synchronization to be reinitialized. Reset To Adaptive: Change the Mode of the copy operation to Adaptive.

CreateListSynchronizationAspect (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (CreateListSynchronizationAspect)

Name	Data Type	Value
Description	string	Create (or start a job to create) new point-in-time representations of source elements. These representations may be of a form of pointers that keep track of data at the time the point-in-time was created, or a series of checkpoints that capture the view of data on the source elements at the time of point-in-time. This method does not include target elements, however, target elements can be added subsequently using the ModifyListSettingsDefineState method. If the method executes successfully, SettingsDefineState associations are created between the source elements and the SynchronizationAspect instances, which will have the datetime of the point-in-time.
ValueMap	string	0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, .., 4096, 4097..32767, 0x8000..
Values	string	Completed with No Error, Not Supported, Unknown, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, In Use, DMTF Reserved, Method Parameters Checked - Job Started, Method Reserved, Vendor Specific
