Updating the Destination Region or Availability Domain Replication Settings for a Volume Group

To change the destination region or availability domain for cross-region replication you need to first turn cross-region replication off for a volume group. Then specify the new region and availability domain selections when you turn cross-region replication on again.

    1. On the Volume Groups list page, select the volume group you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the volume group, see Listing Volume Groups.
    2. On the details page, select Edit.
    3. Select Next twice to display the Cross region replication section.
    4. In the Cross region replication section, move the Enable cross ad/region replication slider to the left to disable cross-region replication.
    5. Select Check here to confirm to acknowledge the that volume group replica will be deleted.
    6. (Optional) To turn off individual volume replication for each volume in the group, select Volume replication off.
    7. Select Next twice to display the Summary section.

    8. Select Save changes. After a few minutes, the volume group's status will change from Updating... to Available.

    9. On the details page, select Edit.
    10. Select Next twice to display the Cross region replication section.
    11. In the Cross region replication section, move the Enable cross ad/region replication slider to the right to enable cross-region replication.
    12. Select the target region for the replica.
    13. Select the availability domain for the replica.
    14. Enter a name for the replica.

    15. Optionally, encrypt the volume group replica in the destination region by using your own Vault encryption key. Select Encrypt using customer-managed keys for Cross region replication encryption, and then specify the OCID for a valid encryption key in the region you selected to replicate the volume group to. For more information, see Customer-Managed Encryption Keys for Cross-Region Operations.

    16. Select Save changes.
