Prerequisite information for deleting pairs
•
The P-VOL and S-VOL must be synchronized. Before deleting, wait until all write I/O operations
to the P-VOL are completed, set the P-VOL offline, then split the pair.
•
Pair deletion cannot be performed when the pair status is V-Split/SUSPVS.
•
When a pair is created, the processor blade allocated to the P-VOL's LDEV is also allocated
to the S-VOL's LDEV. When a pair is deleted, the processor blade that was originally allocated
to the S-VOL's LDEV is allocated to it again. If the original processor blade was removed,
another processor blade is allocated.
•
Deleting a pair first changes the status of the volumes to SIMPLEX(PD) then to SIMPLEX. SIMPLEX
status is not shown In the RWC.
•
After deleting a pair, wait 10 seconds—until volume status changes from SIMPLEX(PD) to
SIMPLEX—before performing tasks such as a pair operation or event waiting. If you do not
wait 10 seconds, the operation might end abnormally.
Deleting pairs
1. In the tree, click Replications > Local Replications.
2. In the Pairs tab, select the pair you want to delete, and click More Actions > Delete Pairs.
3. In the Delete Pairs window, enter a Task Name and click Apply.
After performing the pairdelete operation, if you do not see the number of pairs and other
information you expect to see in the Summary tab of the Local Replications window, the system is
working and requires more time. Wait a little longer, then click File/Refresh.
