Disable protection of nodes

If you disable protection, the most recent re-build of the recovery node is retained but backups are suspended.

If you disable protection while a backup is in progress or an RN is being rebuilt, that process continues to completion but further backups are suspended.

When you re-enable protection, backups resume and subsequent RN rebuilds are based on the retained RN.

To disable protection of a node when Protection is On:

1.	Log on to the HA Appliance’s onQ Portal.

2.	Go to DASHBOARD tab > PROTECTED NODES page.

3.	Unlock the page.

4.	Do one of the following:

•	(All PNs) Click on either the DISABLE ALL or ENABLE ALL button at the bottom of the page, then click Disable Protection/Enable Protection to change protection for all PNs.

•	(Single PN) Locate the Protection Disabled column. When you click a button in this column, protection toggles between enabled and disabled for the indicated node.

A check mark appears in the field if protection is disabled. Otherwise it is blank.

To disable protection of a node when Protection is Off:

1.	Log on to the HA Appliance’s onQ Portal.

2.	From the PROTECTION CONFIG tab, select the node, then click the MODIFY button.

3.	Select the Disable Protection?: Yes radio button, then SAVE.
