Backing out of Remote Copy evaluation
If you decide not to use Remote Copy and you have not obtained license keys by the end of the
evaluation period, you must delete any remote volumes and snapshots you have configured.
However, you can save the data in the remote snapshots before you delete them.
1. First, back up any volumes you plan to retain.
2. Next, safely back out of the Remote Copy evaluation as described in Table 63 (page 224),
according to how you want to handle the data.
Table 63 Safely backing out of Remote Copy evaluation
Steps to Back OutFate of Data in Remote Snapshots
Removing data from the remote target
• Delete the remote snapshots.
• Delete the remote volume.
Retaining the data on the remote target
• Make the remote volume into a primary volume.
• Disassociate the primary and remote management
groups, if the remote copy was between management
groups.
Scripting evaluation
Application-based scripting is available for volume and snapshot features. You can create scripts
to:
• Create snapshots
• Create remote volumes and snapshots
Because using scripts with advanced features starts the evaluation period without requiring that
you use the CMC, you must first verify that you are aware of starting the evaluation clock when
using scripting. If you do not enable the scripting evaluation period, any scripts you have running
(licensed or not) will fail.
Turn on scripting evaluation
To use scripting while evaluating advanced features, enable the scripting evaluation period.
1. In the navigation window, select a management group.
2. Select the Registration tab.
3. Click Registration Tasks, and select Feature Registration from the menu.
4. Select the Scripting Evaluation tab.
