Lifecycle States of Full Stack Disaster Recovery Resources
Lifecycle states of Full Stack DR resources like DR Protection Groups, DR Plans, and DR Plan Executions.
Lifecycle States for DR Protection Groups
Table A-4 Lifecycle States for DR Protection Groups
Lifecycle State | Description |
---|---|
Creating |
The DR Protection Group is in the process of being created. When in this state, you cannot modify or delete a group. Wait for the group to reach the Active or Failed state before you attempt to modify or delete it. |
Active |
The DR Protection Group is available for use. When the group is in this state, you can modify or delete it. The group is also available for you to create DR Plans or run DR Plan Executions. |
Updating |
The DR Protection Group is being updated and not available for modification. The group enters this state during the following situations:
The DR Protection Group usually moves back to a Active state after the modification or plan execution is complete, or it may move to a Needs attention state. If a DR Protection Group is stuck in the Updating state, ensure that plan executions for the DR Protection Group are not in a Failed or Paused state. The DR Protection Group exits the Updating state after the plan execution succeeds or is canceled. |
Needs attention |
The DR Protection Group requires user attention and intervention because one of the following conditions is true:
You can move the DR Protection Group back to the Active state by going to the resource page for the DR Protection Group, clicking the More Actions drop-down, and selecting Reset State. Additionally, you can update the roles of the two paired DR Protection Groups to correctly set their roles to primary and standby. |
Deleting |
The DR Protection Group is being deleted and cannot be modified. |
Deleted |
The DR Protection Group is deleted and cannot be modified. Deleted resources are removed after some time. |
Failed |
The DR Protection Group failed during creation, association, or modification. To remove the DR Protection Group from this state reattempt the association or modification. You can also delete a DR Protection Group in this state. |
Inactive |
When you enable the Start drill plan and the drill is in progress for a DR Protection Group, then the state is updated to Inactive.
Note
No updates are allowed when the DR Protection Groups are in an Inactive state. |
Lifecycle Sub-states for DR Protection Groups
Table A-5 Lifecycle Sub-states for DR Protection Groups
Lifecycle Sub-state | Description |
---|---|
Drill in progress |
The Drill in progress lifecycle sub-state would be set after you run the Start drill plan and when the Start drill execution is completed. |
Lifecycle States for DR Plans
Table A-6 Lifecycle States for DR Plans
Lifecycle State | Description |
---|---|
Creating |
The DR Plan is in the process of being created. You cannot modify or delete a DR plan in this state. Wait for the DR Plan to reach the Active or Failed state before you try to modify or delete it. |
Updating |
The DR Plan is being updated and you cannot modify or delete it. The DR Plan enters this state when you are modifying it. |
Active |
The DR Plan is available for modification or for launching plan executions. This is the state in which plans exist at the standby DR Protection Group after they are created and available for use. When the primary DR Protection Group transitions to a standby role, all the Inactive plans stored at the DR protection group will move to an Active state. |
Inactive |
The DR Plan is not available for modification or for launching plan executions. In this state plans exist at the primary DR Protection Group after you have created them. When the standby DR Protection Group transitions to a primary role, all the Active plans stored at the DR Protection Group move to an Inactive state. |
Deleting |
The DR Plan is being deleted and you cannot modify it. |
Deleted |
The DR Plan has been deleted and you cannot modify it. Full Stack DR removes deleted resources after some time. |
Failed |
The DR Plan has failed due to an internal error and you cannot use it in its current state. You can delete Failed DR Plans. |
Needs attention |
The DR Plan requires user attention and intervention because a plan lifecycle state update was unsuccessful. To resolve this issue, create a new DR Plan for the DR Protection Group or execute a precheck for any existing plan which is in a Needs attention state. |
Lifecycle States for DR Plan Execution
Table A-7 Lifecycle States for DR Plan Execution
Lifecycle State | Description |
---|---|
Accepted |
The DR Plan Execution is accepted but has not started. |
In progress |
The DR Plan Execution has started and is in progress. |
Canceling |
The DR Plan is being canceled because the user attempted to cancel it (abandon the execution). |

Pausing |
The DR Plan Execution is being paused. You cannot modify, resume, or cancel a DR Plan Execution when it is being paused. |
Paused |
The DR Plan Execution is paused. You can update, resume, or cancel a DR Plan Execution when it is paused. You cannot delete a paused DR Plan Execution. |
