Delete a pair

When you delete a pair, the Continuous Access Journal Z relationship between the P-VOL and
S-VOL is released. The data volumes and their data remain, but in Simplexstatus.
Prerequisite information
This operation can be performed from either the primary or secondary systems.
When a pair deletion is initiated, transfer of differential data from P-VOL to S-VOL is completed,
then the pair relationship is deleted and the volume's status becomes Simplex.
A pair can be deleted regardless of its status. However, data consistency is not guaranteed
unless status is Duplex.
If the operation fails, the P-VOL nevertheless becomes Simplex. Transfer of differential data to
S-VOL is terminated.
Best practice is to perform pair deletion when I>O load is low. This reduces impact on
performance. Operations on multiple pairs with different statuses and in the same mirror may
result in suspension during high periods of write I/O.
In a delta resync configuration, if you release the Continuous Access Synchronous Z pair, the
Continuous Access Journal Z delta resync pair will be released as well. If you release the
Continuous Access Journal Z pair, the Continuous Access Journal Z delta resync S-VOL is
released.
If Continuous Access Journal Z secondary data volumes are physically attached to the same
host server(s) as the Continuous Access Journal Z primary data volumes, the following problem
can occur:
When a Continuous Access Journal Z pair is released, the older, secondary data volume is
usually offline. If the host is then restarted, the system administrator may be offered both
