Deactivating Remote Replication
Deactivating the Remote Replication premium feature removes RAID controller module port restrictions.
NOTE: Before
deactivating the Remote Replication premium feature, delete all existing
Remote Replication groups and replicated virtual disk pairs from the
local and remote storage arrays.
To deactivate
the Remote Replication feature:
- From the AMW, select
A message prompts you to confirm if the Remote Replication premium feature is to be deactivated.
- Click Yes.
