Removing a Remote Replication From a Storage Array
Removing a remote virtual disk replication from a storage array returns both
the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk to regular standard
virtual disks. After the removal is complete, normal I/O operations continue
on the former primary virtual disk; the former secondary virtual disk also
becomes available for normal I/O operations. Both virtual disks become read-
write enabled. Unless one of disks has been deleted, a replication relationship
between the two virtual disks can be re-created.
NOTE: No data on either virtual disk is deleted.
CAUTION: Do not remove a replication relationship to back up a replicated
virtual disk. To back up either the primary virtual disk or the secondary virtual
disk, suspend the remote virtual disk replication so that the replication
relationship is not broken.
