Detaching synchronous mirror tasks
Detaching a task deletes the task and its auxiliary virtual disks. You can detach tasks only in the
following situations:
• If a group’s status is Normal and no process of synchronizing dirty regions is currently running,
you can detach any task in the group.
• If a group's status is Failed.
• If a group’s status is Journal, you can detach a failed task.
To detach a task:
1. Click the Sync Mirror Task tab.
2. Right-click a task.
3. Select Detach. A confirmation screen appears.
4. Click Finish. The task is detached.
