must be in the same mirror. Review the Force option for the Delete Mode field when
specifying Range as Volume.

6. From the Delete Mode list, select one of the following:
Normal, to delete the pair or pairs only if the primary system is able to change the pair
status of both P-VOL and S-VOL to Simplex.
Force, to forcibly delete the pair or pairs, even when the primary system is unable to
communicate with the secondary system. This option could be used, for example, when
the primary system is unable to communicate with the secondary system. Specifying Force
would thus allow host operations to continue.
If Force is specified when pair status is other than Simplex, Range is automatically set to
Mirror.
If Force is specified when Range is set to Volume, the other pairs in the same journal are
also suspended.
