Use the following workflow to delete an BC Z pair:
1. Ensure that all of the write I/O operations to the P-VOL have completed and that all secondary
host applications that access the P-VOL have stopped.
2. Set the P-VOL offline.
3. If you are using RAID Manager to run commands, verify that the BC Z pair is unpaired and
not in the process of being unpaired (“Deleting/TRANS” status). Complete the following:

following BCM command:
