About this task
If the Live Volume manages a replication, the managed replication is converted into a standalone replication when the Live Volume is
deleted.
Steps
1. Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2. On the Live Volumes tab, select the Live Volume, then click Delete. The Delete Objects dialog box appears.
3. Select deletion options:
• Convert to Replication: Select this check box to convert the Live Volume to a replication.
NOTE:
When you delete a Live Volume, the QoS settings are retained on the primary Storage Center volume and
the QoS settings on the secondary Storage Center volume are modified to the system defaults.
• Recycle Secondary Volume: Enable this check box if you want to move the secondary volume to the Recycle Bin on the
secondary Storage Center.
• Delete Secondary Volume: Select this check box if you do not want to retain the deleted secondary volume in the Recycle Bin
(not recommended).
WARNING:
If you delete the secondary volume, you cannot recover the volume — it is permanently deleted from
the Storage Center.
• Delete Restore Point: Select this check box to delete the restore point for the Live Volume.
4. When you are finished, click OK.
Force Delete a Live Volume
Force Delete is an option for Live Volumes in a fractured state or if Storage Manager can view only one side of the Live Volume because
the other side is down. A Live Volume is fractured if both secondary and primary Live Volumes are designated as primary or if Storage
Manager can communicate with only the primary Live Volume.
Prerequisites
Both Live Volumes are inactive or Storage Manager is managing only one of the Storage Centers.
