Dell EMC PowerVault MD 34XX/38XX Series Storage Arrays Administrator's Guide

Removing copy pairs

You can remove one or more virtual disk copies by using the Remove Copy Pairs option. Any virtual disk copy-related information for the source virtual disk and the target virtual disk is removed from the Virtual Disk Properties dialog and the Storage Array Profile dialogs. When you remove a virtual disk copy from the storage array, the Read-Only attribute for the target virtual disk is also removed. After the virtual disk copy is removed from the Copy Manager, you can either select the target virtual disk as a source virtual disk or the target virtual disk for a new virtual disk copy. If you remove a virtual disk copy, the source virtual disk and the target virtual disk no longer appear in the Copy Manager.
