Removing member virtual disk from consistency group

Use the Remove Member Virtual Disks option to remove a member virtual disk from an existing consistency group. When you remove a member virtual disk from a consistency group, the system automatically deletes the snapshot group associated with that member virtual disk. In addition, you can choose whether you want to delete any repositories associated with the member virtual disk.

1. From the AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Select the base virtual disk that you want to remove from the consistency group and then select Storage > Virtual disk > Remove From Consistency Group.
   • Select the consistency group to which you want to add member virtual disks and then select Copy Services > Consistency Group > Remove Member Virtual Disks.
3. If you selected a base virtual disk that is a member of multiple consistency groups or if you selected a consistency group from which you want to remove member virtual disk, do one of the following:
   • Select one or more consistency groups, from the Consistency groups table, that you want to remove the base virtual disk from and then click Remove.
     NOTE: You can click the Select all check box to remove the virtual disk from all the consistency groups displayed in the table.
   • Select the member virtual disks, from the Member virtual disks table, that you want to remove from the consistency group and then click Remove.
     NOTE: You can click the Select all check box to remove all the virtual disks displayed in the table.
4. Select the Delete all repositories associated with this member virtual disk if you want to delete all associated repositories that exist for one or more member virtual disks in the consistency group.
5. Type yes in the text box and then click Delete to delete one or more member virtual disks from the consistency group.
   The system removes the member virtual disks from the consistency group; they are not deleted.
