Deleting Remote Replication Groups
Deleting a Remote Replication group breaks all mirrored pair, breaks all mirrored pair relationships, and deletes the
Remote Replication group on both the local storage array and the remote storage array. Primary and secondary virtual
disks return to standard volume status. No data is deleted from the volumes. The replication relationship cannot be
resumed after the delete Remote Replication groups operation starts. You can delete only empty Remote Replication
groups. If a Remote Replication group contains any virtual disks, delete those virtual disks before deleting the Remote
Replication group. To delete a Remote Replication group:
1.
In the All Storage Arrays table, select the storage array group.
2.
In the Remote Replication Groups table, select a group.
3.
Click Delete.
The Delete Remote Replication Group dialog box is displayed.

Replicated Pairs
The two virtual disks in a replicated pair function as a single entity, enabling you to perform one action on the replicated
pair instead of performing two actions. A storage array can have multiple replicated pairs. The Replicated Pairs table
shows the primary and secondary virtual disks in the replicated pairs on an array.
•
The virtual disks you add to the Remote Replication group on the local storage array performs the primary role.
•
The virtual disks you add to the Remote Replication group on the remote storage array performs the secondary
role.
•
You can switch virtual disks between roles.
