You can disable cluster replication to investigate a problem or to improve performance. You can stop cluster replication for the current server session only, or you can prevent cluster replication from starting when the server starts. If you stop cluster replication for the current session only, cluster replication starts again the next time the server starts. Disabling cluster replication has no effect on scheduled replication, which still occurs.

About this task

Use one of the following procedures to disable cluster replication.

Note: Disabling the Cluster Replicator prevents only replication from that server to other cluster servers. It does not prevent replication to the server from other cluster servers.
