Removing Copy Pairs

The remove virtualDiskCopy command enables you to remove a virtual disk copy pair from the storage array configuration. All virtual disk copy information for the source virtual disk and target virtual disk is removed from the storage array configuration. The data on the source virtual disk or target virtual disk is not deleted. Removing a virtual disk copy from the storage array configuration also removes the read-only attribute for the target virtual disk.

  • CAUTION: If the virtual disk copy has a status of In Progress, you must stop the virtual disk copy before you can remove the virtual disk copy pair from the storage array configuration.
The following syntax is the general form of the command: 
remove virtualDiskCopy target [targetName] [source [sourceName]]
The following example shows a command to remove a virtual disk copy pair: 
client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "remove
                                    virtualDiskCopy target [\"Obi_1\"];"
The following example is the script file version of the command: 
remove virtualDiskCopy target ["Obi_1"];
