Removing a Secondary from a Replicated Data Set

The Remove a Secondary from an RDS task removes a Secondary RVG from its RDS. This task can be initiated from any host in an RDS.

This task removes the Secondary RVG (from its RDS) on the specified Secondary host. Before executing this command, you must stop replication to the specified Secondary.

  Caution   The operation performed by the Remove Secondary option is irreversible.

This command performs the following by default:

• Dissociates the data volumes and the SRL from the Secondary RVG.
• Removes the Secondary RVG from its RDS, deletes the Secondary RVG, and deletes the Primary and Secondary RLINKs.

The Remove Secondary option does not delete data volumes.

For details on Removing a Secondary, see Chapter 4 of Veritas Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide.
