6. Set the copy priority.
There are five copy priority rates available: lowest, low, medium, high, and highest. If the copy priority
is set at the lowest rate, I/O activity is prioritized, and the virtual disk copy takes longer. If the copy
priority is set to the highest priority rate, the virtual disk copy is prioritized, but I/O activity for the
storage array might be affected.
Removing Copy Pairs
You can remove one or more virtual disk copies by using the Remove Copy Pairs option. Any virtual disk
copy-related information for the source virtual disk and the target virtual disk is removed from the Virtual
Disk Properties dialog and the Storage Array Profile dialogs. When you remove a virtual disk copy from
the storage array, the Read-Only attribute for the target virtual disk is also removed. After the virtual disk
copy is removed from the Copy Manager, you can either select the target virtual disk as a source virtual
disk or the target virtual disk for a new virtual disk copy. If you remove a virtual disk copy, the source
virtual disk and the target virtual disk no longer appear in the Copy Manager.
Keep these guidelines in mind when you remove copy pairs:
• Removing copy pairs does not delete the data on the source virtual disk or target virtual disk.
• If the virtual disk copy has a status of In Progress, you must stop the virtual disk copy before you can
remove the copy pair.
To remove copy pairs:
1. In the AMW, select Copy Services → Virtual Disk Copy → Manage Copies.
The Copy Manager window is displayed.
2. In the table, select one or more copy pairs.
3. Select Copy → Remove Copy Pairs.
The Remove Copy Pairs dialog is displayed.
4. Click Yes.
