Description

The snapmirror delete command removes only the SnapMirror relationship between a source volume and a destination volume, the volumes are not destroyed and Snapshot copies on the volumes are not removed.

The snapmirror delete command fails if a SnapMirror transfer for the SnapMirror relationship is in progress for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2". For relationships with "8.2 and above" capability the delete will succeed even if a transfer is in progress and the transfer will ultimately stop.

A set of load-sharing mirrors can contain multiple destination volumes, each destination volume having a separate SnapMirror relationship with the common source volume. When used on one of the SnapMirror relationships from the set of load-sharing mirrors, the snapmirror delete command deletes the specified SnapMirror relationship from the set of load-sharing mirrors.

The snapmirror delete command preserves the read-write or read-only attributes of the volumes of a SnapMirror relationship after the relationship is deleted. Therefore, a read-write volume that was the source of a SnapMirror relationship retains its read-write attributes, and a data protection volume or a load-sharing volume that was a destination of a SnapMirror relationship retains its read-only attributes.

This command is supported for SnapMirror relationships with the field "Relationship Capability" showing as either "8.2 and above" or "Pre 8.2" in the output of the snapmirror show command.

For relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "8.2 and above", the snapmirror delete command must be used from the destination Vserver or cluster. The SnapMirror relationship information is deleted from the destination Vserver, but no cleanup or deletion is performed on the source Vserver. The snapmirror release command must be issued on the source Vserver to delete the source relationship information.

For relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", you can use this command from the source or from the destination cluster. When used from the destination cluster, the SnapMirror relationship information on the source and destination clusters is deleted. When used from the source cluster, only the SnapMirror relationship information on the source cluster is deleted. The use of snapmirror delete on a source cluster is not supported for an Infinite Volume relationships in this release.

Examples

To delete the SnapMirror relationship with the destination endpoint vs2.example.com:dept_eng_dp_mirror4, type the following command:

vs2.example.com::> snapmirror delete -destination-path
       vs2.example.com:dept_eng_dp_mirror4

For relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", to delete the SnapMirror relationship with the destination endpoint cluster2://vs2.example.com/dept_eng_dp_mirror4, type the following command:

cluster2::> snapmirror delete -destination-path
         cluster2://vs2.example.com/dept_eng_dp_mirror4
