Removing A Replication Relationship; Deleting A Primary Virtual Disk Or A Secondary Virtual Disk - Dell PowerVault MD3620f Command Line Interface Manual

Removing a Replication Relationship

Use the remove remoteReplication command to remove the link
between a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk. (Removing a
replication relationship is similar to deleting a replication relationship.)
Removing the link between a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk
does not affect any of the existing data on either virtual disk. The link
between the virtual disks is removed, but the primary virtual disk still
continues normal I/O operations. Later, you can establish the replication
relationship between the two virtual disks and resume normal replication
operations. You can remove the replication relationship for one or several
remote replicated pairs with this command.
This example shows the remove remoteReplication command:
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
-c "remove remoteReplication localVirtualDisk
[Jan_04_Account];"
When you run this command, use the name of the primary virtual disk of the
remote replicated pair.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
remove remoteReplication localVirtualDisk
[Jan_04_Account];
To re-establish the link between a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual
disk, use the create remoteReplication command.
Deleting a Primary Virtual Disk or a Secondary
Virtual Disk
Use the delete virtualDisk command to remove a primary virtual disk or a
secondary virtual disk from a storage array. Deleting a virtual disk in a
replication relationship removes the replication relationship and completely
deletes the virtual disk from the storage array. You cannot redefine the
replication relationship until you create a new virtual disk or choose an
alternate virtual disk to replace the deleted virtual disk.
CAUTION:
Possible loss of data access – Deleting a primary virtual disk or a
secondary virtual disk permanently removes the data from the storage array.
