Removing remote connections

Remote connections from local storage systems to remote storage systems can be removed. When a remote connection is removed, all remote paths to the selected remote storage system are removed from the current local storage system. When a remote connection is removed, operations of GAD between other local storage systems and their remote storage systems are not affected.

Even after removing a remote connection, you can reconfigure a remote connection and add a different remote storage system to the local storage system. For VSP G1000 you can also remove a remote connection, change the Initiator port back to RCU Target port, and then add a server channel of a local storage system.

Prerequisite information

• Storage Administrator (Remote Copy) role is required.

• All GAD pairs between the local storage system and the remote storage system are removed.

Procedure

1. In the Storage Systems tree, select Replication, and then Remote Connections.

2. In the Connection (To) tab, select the remote connections which you want to remove. (You can select multiple remote connections.)
