Delete journal volumes from a journal

You can delete journal volumes as needed. This section provides instructions and important
information for doing so.
Prerequisite information
A journal volume can only be deleted if either of the following conditions exist:
If the pair belonging to the mirror in the journal is suspended.
◦
If the pair belonging to the mirror in the journal is deleted.
◦
If you delete a mainframe journal volume from a journal where a data volume pair has ever
been registered, the deleted volume (LDEV) is blocked. To reuse the volume as a data volume,
you must format the volume. Unless you format the volume, data in the volume is not
guaranteed. For instructions on formatting volumes, see the HP StorageWorks P9000
Provisioning for Mainframe Systems User Guide.
The following must be true to delete a journal volume:
The status of all mirrors in the journal is Initial, Stopped, or Hold (Failure).
However, if a journal uses multiple mirrors, journal volumes can only be deleted as shown
below.
