Option		Description
Replication Time		Time stamp of the last replication. The time stamp is in the form hh:mm dd:mm:yyyy.

Edit		Select the secondary instance that you want to edit and click this button to edit it.

Activate		If the option to auto-activate the newly registered secondary instance is disabled, the secondary is
		initially placed in the inactive state. Click Activate to activate these inactive secondary instances.
Deregister1		Disconnects the secondary instance from the primary instance. Stops the secondary instance from
		receiving configuration updates from the primary instance. Deregistration restarts the deregistered
		node.
		When full replication is in progress on an instance, do not attempt to deregister that instance. Wait
		until the full replication is complete and the secondary instance is restarted before you deregister
		the secondary instance.
Promote		Requests to promote a secondary instance to the primary instance. All updates to the current
		primary instance are stopped so that all replication updates can complete. The secondary instance
		gets primary control of the configuration when the replication updates complete.
		The secondary instance must be active before you can promote it to the primary instance.
Full Replication		Replicates the primary instance’s database configuration for the secondary instance. ACS is
		restarted.
		When full replication is in progress on an instance, do not attempt to deregister that instance. Wait
		until the full replication is complete and the secondary instance is restarted before you deregister
		the secondary instance.
Backup		Select the secondary instance that you want to back up and click this button to take a backup. See
		Backing Up Primary and Secondary Instances, page 17-7for more information.
