To perform the Initialize Disk operation, consistency group must be in PAUSED or STOPPED state.
If the consistency group is not in PAUSED or STOPPED state then you need to perform the following steps before initializing the disk:
Move the consistency group in maintenance mode.
Verify that the consistency group is in PAUSED | FLOW CONTROL state on the Windows hosts running the following command on the host:

If system recovery is done manually, then you need to first stop the replication and then start the replication using the CLI.
"C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSitrptap\cli\vxtapaction.exe" stop - cg <CGID>
"C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSitrptap\cli\vxtapaction.exe" start - cg <CGID>
where CGID is the consistency group ID.
