    Glossary

Clearing outage

While performing the restore operation if an outage was declared on the production data center, then you need to clear the outage. Only after you have cleared the outage, can you restore the backup images from the remote data center to the production data center.

To clear an outage

  1. Navigate

    Assets > Resiliency Groups tab

  2. Go to the details page for the resiliency group and select Clear outage.
  3. In the Clear outage panel review the information and click Next.
  4. Click Finish.
