Removing a repository from a grid

You can use the ProtecTIER Replication Manager to remove a repository from a
grid.
About this task
Note: Before removing a repository from a grid, carefully consider the potential
effects on the system configuration. Once the source repository is removed from
the grid, all the bandwidth reduction and replication deduplication information is
deleted. The relationship between the original and replicated cartridge pair is lost
and they cannot be updated in the same pair. If the repository rejoins the same
grid, it looks like a new repository in the grid with a new ID, and all data should
be replicated from beginning by new policies. Therefore, removing a repository
from a grid is an operation you should plan with a PT specialist.
A repository can be removed from a grid only if it is a single node repository. See
"Modifying a Replication Group for FSI" on page 105.
To remove a repository from a grid:

4. Click Ok. The repository is removed from the grid.
What to do next
Note: Remove a repository from a grid, without coordination with the Replication
Manager, only if the ProtecTIER Replication Manager thinks that the repository is
not a part of the grid already, or the Replication Manager was destroyed and is not
meant to be restored. To remove a repository from a grid without coordination, see
"Forcing a repository to leave a grid" on page 195.
