Deleting copy pairs from copy groups
You can delete pairs from an existing copy group using the Pair Configuration Wizard.
TIP:
In mainframe systems, you cannot delete all pairs that are in an existing copy group. This restriction
prevents deletion of copy groups with distribution relationships. For details of conditions that disrupt
copy group linkage, see “
Conditions that disrupt copy group distribution relationships ” on page 180.
To delete copy pairs from a copy group:
1. In the Hosts view, Storage Systems view, or Pair Configurations view, display information about
the copy group for which you want to edit a copy pair configuration definition.
For details on the Hosts view, Storage Systems view, and Pair Configurations view, see the
following:
• Viewing a list of hosts , page 303
• Viewing a list of storage systems , page 303
• Viewing a list of copy pair configurations , page 302
2. In the displayed subwindow, select a copy group. Alternatively, make sure that copy group
information is displayed, and then click Pair Management.
The Pair Configuration Wizard starts with the 1. Introduction page displayed.
3. Read the wizard page, and then click Next.
The 2. Pair Association page appears. The copy topology (configuration of the related copy
groups) to which the copy group belongs is displayed under Copy Topology.
4. To delete copy pairs, select the pairs to be deleted and click Delete (for copy pairs and primary
volumes). The dialog box for confirming deletion appears.
5. Click Next.
The 3. Group Management page appears. The deleted pairs are displayed under Pair List.
6. Click Next.
