About deleting remote paths
Remote paths can be deleted by performing the following operations:
• Deleting the associated copy pair.
Using this operation, you delete the copy pair that uses the remote path that you want to delete.
By default, this method deletes the configuration definition file that defines the copy pair. You can
also specify an option to only release the pair (placing the copy pair in simplex status) while re-
taining the configuration definition file.
• Deleting the remote path.
Using this operation, you delete the remote path when there is no associated copy pair.
