Use the Deleting a Copy from VDisk panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
delete a mirrored copy from the selected virtual disk (VDisk).
If the VDisk that you
are deleting a copy from maps to a solid-state drive (SSD),
the data that is stored on the VDisk is not protected against SSD failures
or node failures. To avoid data loss, ensure that a VDisk copy exists
that maps to an SSD on
another node.
This task assumes that you have already
launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Complete the following steps to delete a mirrored copy
from a VDisk:
- Click in the portfolio.
The Viewing Virtual Disks panel is displayed.
- Select the VDisk with a copy to delete and select Delete
a Mirrored VDisk Copy from the task list. Click Go.
The Deleting a Copy from VDisk panel is displayed.
- If necessary, click Force delete to
force the deletion of the VDisk copy in the following situations:
- Migration to an image mode VDisk is in progress for the selected
VDisk copy.
- If the selected VDisk copy is an image mode with virtual medium
errors.
- The cache is not empty for an image mode VDisk copy.
- The image mode VDisk copy is not synchronized.
If the copy being deleted is the last synchronized VDisk
copy, the VDisk and all its copies are deleted.
- Select the VDisk copy to delete and click OK.
