Replication group.
Removing A Replicated Pair From A Remote Replication Group
Removing a replicated pair from a Remote Replication group breaks the replication relationship between the primary
virtual disk on the local storage array and the secondary virtual disk on the remote storage array. Data on the virtual
disks is not affected. As a result of this operation, the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk become
standard, host-accessible, non-replicated virtual disks.
When you remove a replicated pair from a Remote Replication group, the replication relationship is first removed on the
local storage array, then from the remote storage array.
NOTE: Occasionally, when the removal process fails to complete on both storage arrays, the next data
synchronization initiated by the primary virtual disk to the secondary virtual disk is paused. The Logical view in the
AMW may also show an unresponsive secondary virtual disk. Removing the replication relationship on the local
storage array must correct the problem.
1.
In the AMW of the local storage array, select the Storage & Copy Services tab.
2.
Select the Remote Replication group containing the replicated pair you want to remove and select one of the
following:
– Copy Services → Remote Replication → Remote Replication → Replication Group → Remove.
– From the Associated Replicated Pairs table in the right pane, select the replicated pair you want to remove
and select Copy Services → Remote Replication → Remote Replication → Replication Pair → Remove.
The Confirm Remove Replicated Pair window is displayed.
3.
Type yes and click Remove.
NOTE: When you remove a replicated pair, the system deletes the associated replication repositories. To
preserve them, de-select Delete replicated pair repositories.
