remove old symclone source > target pairing

hi, i am trying to clean up some old device pairing for snaps/clones that are no longer needed. i have ran the 'symdg list', there are no device groups allocated from the vmax. below is a list from 'symclone list' command. i understand the devices that are "copyonwrite" as it is being used by our oracle team and created from their system via CLI. what i am attempting to do is to remove the other device pairings. could someone possibly tell me the steps needed to get those device pairings removed?

this is on a VMAX 40K (if that matters)

thank you. j

The CopyOnWrite sessions might be VP Snaps (aka Clone VSE) since there is a V in the first flag column.

As for trying to blow away the other sessions, it really should be a simple "symclone terminate" command. You may need to check if they are all already I n a DG and terminate with the -g option, or create a new DG, or create a new file and use -f option.

But I would be also concerned with making sure who ever created the sessions is done with them

Hi Guys,

I have Similar Problem in my environment, I have few Source luns that are Paired to Target Luns.

The Problem is few pairs are in Recreated state and other pairs are in Copied state. Is this Normal?

My Colleague is asking to change few pairs to Recreate state from copied state.

What is Copied state and recreated state means? Kindly help me with this issue . Thank you.

Regards,

JAY

Okay, so I had the same problem and after consulting with support, here's what I did.  Create a text file with the source and target pairs in a list like so:

       

     

I named my file pairs.txt and saved it into the folder where I was running the commands.

using symcli, run this command:

symclone -sid -f pairs.txt terminate.

No Events found!
