You can stop such a protection group locally or globally, and stop only data replication optionally. For information about deactivating the protection group, see How to Deactivate a Protection Group in Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.3 Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.
You must stop a ZFS snapshot protection group on the primary cluster first, before stopping it on the secondary cluster. This ensures that data replication actions from the primary are stopped first before the replication infrastructure is taken offline from the secondary cluster. To do this, you can either stop the protection group with local scope on primary first and then on secondary, or you can stop the protection group with global scope from the primary cluster.
When you stop data replication on a cluster for a Oracle Solaris ZFS snapshot protection group, the following actions happen for each replication component in the protection group:
The replication status resource group and replication resources are taken offline. Any SSH agents started by such resources are stopped too. The replication status resource group is suspended.
If the role of the protection group on the local cluster is primary, the replication agent resource group and resource for the replication component are taken offline. SSH agent for the resource is stopped too. The replication agent resource group is suspended.
The infrastructure resource group and its resources for the replication component are taken offline on that cluster.
