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 is being modified. This can include addition or deletion of members. A DR Plan Execution for the DR Protection Group is in-progress or has failed, and is waiting for user intervention. 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: During DR Plan Execution, contact with the peer DR Protection Group is unsuccessful (contact with the peer region is lost). During a role change at the end of DR Plan Execution, updating the lifecycle states of DR Plans was unsuccessful. 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 is set after you successfully execute a Start drill plan.

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. If you update either the primary or standby DR protection group, all Active plans will get updated to Needs attention/Needs refresh.
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 for one of the two reasons: A plan data update failed. In this situation the plan sub-state is empty. To resolve this, 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. The primary or standby DR protection group was modified. In this situation the plan sub-state is Needs refresh. To resolve this, see the Refresh a Disaster Recovery Plan topic for refreshing and verifying DR plans.

Lifecycle Sub-states for DR Plan

Table A-7 Lifecycle Sub-states for DR Plan

Lifecycle Sub-state	Description
Needs refresh	If you update the primary or standby DR protection group, all the Active plans are updated and their life-cycle state and sub-state are changed to Needs attention and Needs refresh respectively. If the plan is in this state, you cannot execute the plan. After completing all the updates, you must refresh and then verify the plan on the Standby DR protection group.
Refreshing	The DR Plan is currently being refreshed. You cannot modify or delete a DR plan while it is in this state. Wait until the DR Plan reaches the Needs attention state and the Needs verification sub-state before attempting to verify or delete it.
Needs verification	The DR Plan needs to be verified. When the plan is in this state, you should review it to ensure that the modified groups, added groups, deleted groups, as well as added and deleted steps are all accurate. Additionally, confirm that the groups are in the correct order. You must verify plans in this state to make them Active.
Verifying	The DR Plan is currently being verified.

Lifecycle States for DR Plan Execution

Table A-8 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).
Canceled	The DR Plan Execution is canceled. Canceled plan executions reach a terminal state and you cannot modify or resume a it. However, you can delete canceled plan executions.
Succeeded	The DR Plan Execution is successful.
Failed	The DR Plan Execution failed. You can retry or skip the failed step or group of a failed DR Plan Execution. You must cancel a failed DR Plan Execution to bring the parent DR Protection Group out of the Updating state. You cannot launch a new DR Plan Execution when another failed DR Plan Execution exists in an uncanceled state. You must first cancel a failed DR Plan Execution before you can delete it.
Deleting	The DR Plan Execution is being deleted and you cannot resume, restart, or modify it.
Deleted	The DR Plan Execution is deleted and you cannot be resume, restart, or modify it. Deleted resources are removed after some time.
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.
Resuming	The DR Plan Execution is resuming. You cannot modify, pause, cancel or delete a DR Plan Execution when it is resuming. The DR Plan Execution can move back to an In progress or Failed state after it is resumed.
