Workflow for deleting ShadowImage pairs

Complete the following steps to delete an SI pair:

  1. Ensure that all of the write I/O operations to the P-VOL have completed and that all secondary host applications that access the P-VOL have stopped.
  2. Set the P-VOL offline.
  3. Verify that the SI pair is unpaired and not in the process of being unpaired (SMPL(PD) status) using Business Continuity Manager (BCM), IBM PPRC, HDvM - SN, or RAID Manager.
  4. Split the SI pair.
  5. Delete the SI pair.
