Deactivate asynchronous mirroring

You can deactivate asynchronous mirroring on the local and remote storage arrays to re-establish normal use of dedicated ports on the storage arrays.

Before you begin

  • You must have deleted all mirror relationships. Verify that all mirror consistency groups and mirrored pairs have been deleted from the local and remote storage arrays.

  • The local storage array and the remote storage array must be connected through a Fibre Channel fabric or iSCSI interface.

About this task

When you deactivate asynchronous mirroring, no mirror activity can occur on the local and remote storage arrays.

  1. Select Storage > Asynchronous Mirroring .
  2. Select Uncommon Tasks > Deactivate .
    The system displays a confirmation.
  3. Select Yes to confirm.

What happens next?

  • The controller's HBA host channels that were dedicated for asynchronous mirroring communication can now accept host read and write requests.

  • None of the volumes in this storage array are able to participate in mirror relationships as either primary volumes or secondary volumes.
