Contributors netapp-jolieg

You can deactivate asynchronous mirroring on the local and remote storage arrays to re-establish normal use of dedicated ports on the storage arrays.

Before you begin

  • You must have deleted all mirror relationships. Verify that all mirror consistency groups and mirrored pairs have been deleted from the local and remote storage arrays.

  • The local storage array and the remote storage array must be connected through a Fibre Channel fabric or iSCSI interface.

About this task

When you deactivate asynchronous mirroring, no mirror activity can occur on the local and remote storage arrays.

Steps

  1. Select Storage › Asynchronous Mirroring.

  2. Select Uncommon Tasks › Deactivate.

    The system displays a confirmation.

  3. Select Yes to confirm.

Results

  • The controller's HBA host channels that were dedicated for asynchronous mirroring communication can now accept host read and write requests.

  • None of the volumes in this storage array are able to participate in mirror relationships as either primary volumes or secondary volumes.
