Note that RAID Manager must be installed on the host managed by Device
Manager.

Specify the Device Manager agent in the host settings of the

9-7-4 Deleting Copy Pairs

The system administrator, storage administrator, local system administrator, and local storage administrator
can delete Continuous Access XP and Business Copy XP copy pairs. Guest and local guest users cannot
delete these copy pairs.

When a copy pair is deleted, the P-VOL and S-VOL are changed to “Simplex” status, and the storage
subsystem stops replicating the P-VOL updates on the S-VOL. For details on deleting copy pairs, refer to the
Continuous Access XP, Business Copy XP, or Snapshot XP manual for the storage subsystem.

NOTE:

See section

4-3

for important information on copy pair requirements.

To delete one or more copy pairs:

1.

Log in to Device Manager as a system administrator, storage administrator, local system administrator, or
local storage administrator.

2.

Select and expand the Hosts object in the navigation frame (refer to

Figure 9-1

).

3.

In the navigation frame select the host that manages the copy pair(s) that you want to delete (refer to

Figure 9-20

). If pair management is performed by the central management method, select the desired

host under Hosts.

4.

Select the Delete Pair button to open the Delete Pair wizard (see

Figure 9-25

). If copy pairs are managed

in a batch management configuration, select the host that manages copy pairs from the Replication
Management Console drop-down list, and then select the Delete Pair button to open the Delete Pair
wizard.

5.

Select Delete Pair(s) Step. The Select Delete Pair(s) panel (see

Figure 9-25

) allows you to select the

copy group(s) and/or copy pair(s) that you want to delete. When you are finished selecting groups/pairs,
select Next.

6.

Summary of Changes Step. The Summary of Changes panel (see

Figure 9-26

) displays the requested

delete pair operation(s) and asks you to confirm the operation(s). If you selected a copy group, ALL
PAIRS

displays for Pair.

Review the operation(s) carefully, and select Confirm to confirm the operation(s), or select Cancel to
cancel your request. If you need to make any changes, select Back to return to the previous panel(s).

7.

Device Manager warns you that the data on the S-VOL may not be complete if you delete a pair during
I/O processing on the P-VOL (see

Figure 9-24

). Read the warning carefully, and select OK if there is no

problem, or select Cancel to cancel your request to delete the pair(s).
You are notified when the delete copy pair operation(s) is/are complete.
