Deleting the remote path
When the remote path becomes unnecessary, delete the remote path.
Prerequisites
•
The pair status of the volumes using the remote path to be deleted
must be Simplex or Split..
NOTE: When performing the planned shutdown of the remote array, the
remote path should not necessarily be deleted. Change all the TrueCopy
pairs in the array to the Split status, and then perform the planned
shutdown of the remote array. After restarting the array, perform the pair
resynchronization. However, when the Warning notice to the Failure
Monitoring Department at the time of the remote path blockade or the
notice by the SNMP Agent Support Function or the E-mail Alert Function is
not desired, delete the remote path, and then turn off the power of the
remote array.
•
Do not perform a pair operation for a TCE pair when the remote path
for the TCE pair is not set up. The pair operation may not complete
correctly.
To delete the remote path
1. In the Storage Navigator 2 GUI, select the Remote Path icon in the
Setup tree view in the Replication tree.
2. On the Remote Path screen, click the box for the path that is to be
deleted.
3. Click the Delete Path button.
4. Click Close on the Delete Remote Path screen.
TCE tasks before a planned remote array shutdown
Before shutting down the remote array, do the following:
•
Split all TCE pairs. If you perform the shutdown without splitting the
pairs, the P-VOL status changes to Failure. In this case, re-synchronize
the pair after restarting the remote array.
•
Delete the remote path (from local array).
