Delete consistency groups on your ASA r2 system

If you no longer need to manage the members of a consistency group as a single unit, you can delete the consistency group. After a consistency group is deleted, the storage units previously in the group remain active on the cluster. If the consistency group was in a replication relationship, the replicated copies remain on the remote cluster.

Before you begin

If you are running ONTAP 9.16.1, and the consistency group you want to delete is in a SnapMirror active sync relationship, you must delete the SnapMirror active sync relationship before you delete the consistency group. Deleting this relationship before modifying a consistency group is not required in ONTAP 9.17.1 and later releases.

Steps

  1. In System Manager, select Protection > Consistency groups.

  2. Hover over the consistency group you want to delete.

  3. Select three vertical blue dots; then select Delete.

  4. Accept the warning, then select Delete.

What's next?

After you delete a consistency group, the storage units previously in the consistency group are no longer protected by snapshots. Consider adding these storage units to another consistency group to protect them against data loss.
