Accelerating the Thin Image pair deletion process

You can shorten the time that a Thin Image pair is in the process of being deleted ("SMPL(PD)" status). If the pair status is "SMPL(PD)", you cannot recreate a Thin Image pair, and you cannot assign an S-VOL to snapshot data, release an assignment, or change an assignment.

1. Delete the snapshot data by resynchronizing the pair.

   This puts the pair in "PAIR" status.

2. Delete the pair.
