Deleting remote paths

You can delete remote paths from the primary or secondary storage systems.

Before you begin

• Before deleting remote paths, make sure that the remaining number of remote paths will be greater than the minimum number of paths setting. You can do this in the View Remote Connection Properties window. The delete path operation will fail if the number of remaining paths is equal to or less than the minimum number of paths.

• The primary storage system administrator can delete remote paths between the initiator port of the primary storage system and the RCU target port of the secondary storage system. The secondary System administrator can delete remote paths between the initiator port of the secondary storage system and the RCU target port of the primary storage system.
