5. For Delete Mode, Normal is used for Cnt Ac-J.
CAUTION: Please note the following:
•
Forced deletion in the primary system results in data that was not yet sent to the secondary
system being deleted.
•
Forced deletion in the secondary system results in data that was not yet restored being
deleted.
•
If pair status has not changed to SMPL five minutes after you forcibly delete the pair,
delete it again.
•
Make sure not to recreate the pair in the first five minutes after forcibly deleting it using
the same journals (mirrors), even if pair status is SMPL and journal status is Initial: in this
case pair creation could fail and the pair might suspend.
•
A time-out error can occur at the time of a forced deletion if I/O is sent to another pair
in the same journal and the pair’s status is PAIR or COPY.
6. Click Finish.
7. In the Confirm window, review the settings and enter a task name in the Task Name box.

Deleting pairs in a mirror
When you delete the pairs in a mirror, data copying between master and restore journals ends.

The following information may be useful to you before beginning the procedure:

If you specify a mirror in Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure) status, only the Cnt Ac-J pairs of the
specified mirror are deleted.

If you specify a mirror that is not in Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure) status, Cnt Ac-J pairs of
both mirrors (including the mirror that you did not specify) are deleted.
