Deleting a Secondary Virtual Disk

NOTE:
Depending on which premium features are enabled on the storage array,
deleting a secondary virtual disk may delete all associated virtual disks, resulting in
a possible loss of data on those virtual disks.
NOTE:
You cannot delete a secondary virtual disk while it is synchronizing.
When a secondary virtual disk is deleted, the replication relationship is
removed and the remote virtual disk replication is destroyed.
NOTE:
Deleting a secondary virtual disk results in the permanent loss of the data
on the secondary virtual disk.
For steps describing how to delete a secondary virtual disk, see "Deleting a
Virtual Disk From a Replicated Pair in a Storage Array" on page 213.
