5 Select Copy Re-Copy.

NOTE:

There are 5 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 may be

affected.

Removing Copy Pairs

You can remove one or more virtual disk copies by using the Copy Manager.

Any virtual disk copy-related information for the source virtual disk and the

target virtual disk is removed from the Virtual Disk Properties 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 displays 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 Virtual Disk Copy Manager.

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.
