Delete greyed out for one replication
In Unisphere I Have 4 replications going. Only 1 of them has most of the buttons grayed out when selected. The only buttons lit up are Create or Properties. However the other 3 replications have Refresh, Stop, Reverse, Switchover and Delete.
Same thing on the remote side.
So I want to delete this and I'm trying via the command line. It is taking a long time, is this normal?
[nasadmin@dcusan1 ~]$ nas_replicate -delete vm1-sas-replication
10% completed
10% completed
10% completed
10% completed
10% completed
10% completed
10% completed
10% completed
10% completed
Will this ever complete?

Probably not. The syntax above will delete the replication on the source side only (normally, you'll want "nas_replicate -delete -mode both" to delete the replication on sides).
Can you run nas_task -list?

[nasadmin@dcusan1 ~]$ nas_task -list
ID Task State Originator Start Time Description Schedule Remote System
453439 Failed nasadmin@10.+ Tue Jun 17 09:37:38 EDT 2014 Delete alert(s). dcusan1
453044 Running nasadmin@cli+ Tue Jun 17 08:38:23 EDT 2014 Delete Replication vm1-sas-re+ dcusan1
219747 Running nasadmin@cli+ Mon Mar 24 09:59:00 EDT 2014 Refresh Replication [ id=464+ dcusan1
And it is still running. It says 10% completed over and over again, almost a full SuperPuTTY window's worth at 1920x1200.
Should I break out of it and issue the command you specified?

How do I delete it from the other side? Seems to have gone now once I killed it.
But the other side says :
[nasadmin@dcusan2 ~]$ nas_replicate -delete vm1-sas-replication
Error 13160415266: The IP address is invalid or the command is issued from the wrong side
Man I wish I put the -mode both. Now I'm STUCK.

Yes, unfortunately. You'll need to involve EMC Support at this point in time. There are some cleanup processes they can run, most of which are non-disruptive. However, there's always a slim chance they'll have to reboot a datamover, to free up a process they can't kill...

It seems like it resolved itself. I came in today and the replication was gone. I was able to undo the nfs export and delete the filesystem and reclaim that space for other purposes. It may have just took a really long time I guess.
I just have to figure out how to delete all the alerts. There are so many about slot 2: source=464_SL7E etc... "Data communication between source and destination is currently down and the system is trying to resume data communication.". I can't delete them in Unisphere as nasadmin or root.

I figured out the alerts.
As root user
#cd /nas/log/webui/
#echo "">alert_log
#echo "">webui.log
# rm alert_log.*

Seems ok now.
