Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 104)

This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
resume remoteReplication virtualDisk Jan_04_Account
writeConsistency=false;
Removing A Replication Relationship
Use the remove remoteReplication command to remove the link between a primary virtual disk and a
secondary virtual disk. (Removing a replication relationship is similar to deleting a replication relationship.) Removing
the link between a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk does not affect any of the existing data on either
virtual disk. The link between the virtual disks is removed, but the primary virtual disk still continues normal I/O
operations. Later, you can establish the replication relationship between the two virtual disks and resume normal
replication operations. You can remove the replication relationship for one or several remote replicated pairs with this
command.
This example shows the remove remoteReplication command:
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
-c “remove remoteReplication localVirtualDisk [Jan_04_Account];
When you run this command, use the name of the primary virtual disk of the remote replicated pair.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
remove remoteReplication localVirtualDisk [Jan_04_Account];
To re-establish the link between a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk, use the create
remoteReplication command.
Deleting A Primary Virtual Disk Or A Secondary Virtual Disk
Use the delete virtualDisk command to remove a primary virtual disk or a secondary virtual disk from a storage
array. Deleting a virtual disk in a replication relationship removes the replication relationship and completely deletes the
virtual disk from the storage array. You cannot redefine the replication relationship until you create a new virtual disk or
choose an alternate virtual disk to replace the deleted virtual disk.
CAUTION: Possible loss of data access – Deleting a primary virtual disk or a secondary virtual disk permanently
removes the data from the storage array.
Disabling The Remote Replication (Legacy) Premium Feature
You disable the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature to prevent the new replication relationship from being
created. When you disable the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature, the premium feature is in a Disabled/
Active state. In this state, you can maintain and manage previously existing replication relationships; however, you
cannot create new relationships. To disable the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature, use this command:
disable storageArray feature=remoteReplication
Deactivating The Remote Replication (Legacy) Premium Feature
If you no longer require the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature and you have removed all of the replication
relationships, you can deactivate the premium feature. Deactivating the premium feature re-establishes the normal use
of dedicated ports on both storage arrays and deletes both replication repository virtual disks. To deactivate the Remote
Replication (legacy) premium feature, use this command:
deactivate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
