Module > Change Active DPM. Make sure that the failover succeeds and the DPM with a status
of Present becomes the active DPM for that synchronous mirror group.
4. At the surviving site, for every failed synchronous mirror group, right-click the mirror group, and
select Manage > Recovery > Force Delete.
The Force Delete option deletes of the synchronous mirror objects on the selected groups. The
local task becomes a simple standalone virtual disk, without permissions, and with PiTs if they
previously existed.
5. Present the virtual disk to the local hosts on the surviving site using the DPM that is online for that
virtual disk.
Re-establishing the connection with the recovered site after Force Delete
1. Make sure that all the components at the recovered site are online except for the DPM that was
deliberately powered off.
2. Make sure that the VSMs at both sites are online and see each other.
3. Turn on the power to the DPM at the recovered site. The DPM at the recovered site joins the system
as a passive DPM.
4. Recreate the synchronous mirror groups that were deleted when you used the Force Delete option.
5. Initiate a resynchronization.
