Deleting journals
Prerequisite information
Journals can be deleted from the primary or secondary system.
All mirrors in the journal must be Initial status.
Removing a journal volume from a journal that is registered causes the journal volume's LDEVs to become blockaded. You can release the blockade by formatting the LDEVs.

Select the tab, and then select the journal to be deleted.
From the Actions menu, click Journals > Delete Journals.
