From the Delete Mode list, select one of the following:

Normal, to delete the pair or pairs only if the primary system is able to change the pair
status of both P-VOL and S-VOL to SMPL.

Force, to forcibly delete the pair or pairs, even when the primary system is unable to
communicate with the secondary system. This option could be used, for example, when
the primary system is unable to communicate with the secondary system. Specifying Force
would thus allow host operations to continue.

If Force is specified when pair status is other than SMPL, Range is automatically set to
Mirror.

If Force is specified when Range is set to LU, the other pairs in the same journal are also
suspended.

Prerequisite information

This operation can be performed from either the primary or secondary systems.

When one journal uses two mirror IDs, the result of the operation differs according to the status
of the specified mirror.

When you specify a mirror in Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure) status, only the Continuous
Access Journal pairs of the specified mirror are deleted.

When you specify a mirror that is not in Hold, Holding, or Hold(Failure) status, Continuous
Access Journal pairs of both mirrors (including the mirror that you did not specify) are
deleted.
