Name | Data Type | Value
--- | --- | ---
Description | string | Modify (or start a job to modify) the synchronization association between two storage objects or replication groups. If 0 is returned, the function completed successfully and no ConcreteJob instance was created.

#### Method Parameters (ModifyReplicaSynchronization)

Name | Type | Qualifiers
--- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
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.
IN | boolean | true
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: Causes the synchronization to be reinitialized.
IN | boolean | true
Required | boolean | true

Name | Data Type | Value
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.
IN | boolean | true
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: 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: Causes the synchronization to be reinitialized.
