Disabling The Remote Replication Premium Feature

You disable the Remote Replication premium feature to prevent the new replication relationship from being created.
When you disable the Remote Replication premium feature, the premium feature is in a Disabled/Active state. In this
state, you can maintain and manage previously existing replication relationships; however, you cannot create new
relationships. To disable the Remote Replication premium feature, use this command:
disable storageArray feature=asyncReplication;

Deactivating The Remote Replication Premium Feature

If you no longer require the Remote Replication premium feature and you have removed all of the replication
relationships (replication groups and replicated pairs), you can deactivate the premium feature. Deactivating the
premium feature re-establishes the normal use of dedicated ports on both storage arrays and deletes replication
repository virtual disks. To deactivate the Remote Replication premium feature, use this command:
deactivate storageArray feature=asyncReplication;

Interaction With Other Premium Features

You can run the Remote Replication premium feature while running these premium features:

Snapshot—both standard Snapshot and Snapshot (legacy) premium features

Virtual Disk Copy

When you run the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature with other premium features, you must consider the
requirements of the other premium features to ensure that you set up a stable storage array configuration.
