If the journal (mirror) status is not Initial—even though you deleted pairs forcibly and five minutes have passed—perform the operation again to delete all pairs registered to the mirror.Deleting the pairs in a mirror
When you delete the pairs in a mirror, data copying between master and restore journals ends.
Prerequisite information
This operation can be performed from the primary or secondary system.
To delete pairs in a mirror
Open the Remote Replication window:
In Hitachi Command Suite: On the Resources tab, expand the Storage Systems tree, right-click the target storage system, and click Remote Replication.
In Device Manager - Storage Navigator: In the Storage Systems tree, click Replication > Remote Replication.
Select the Mirrors tab, and then select the mirrors to be deleted.
From the Actions menu, click Remote Replication > Delete Mirrors.
In the Delete Mirrors dialog box, review the mirrors in the Selected Mirrors table.
For Delete Mode, specify one of the following:
Normal: Mirrors are deleted only if the primary system can change the mirror status to Initial.
Force: Mirrors are forcibly deleted even when the primary system cannot communicate with the secondary system.
Click Finish.
In the Confirm window, review the settings and enter a task name in the Task Name box.
Click Apply to save your settings to the system.
If the journal (mirror) status is not Initial—even though you deleted pairs forcibly and five minutes have passed—perform the operation again to delete all pairs registered to the mirror.
Do not create pairs with the same journal for at least five minutes, even if the journal status was Initial; otherwise pair creation could fail and the pair would be suspended.
