Removing a Primary from an RDS

The Remove Primary from an RDS task removes a Primary RVG from an RDS and thus, deletes the corresponding RDS.

Prerequisites for deleting a Primary RVG:

  All Secondary hosts in the RDS must be removed. For more information, see Removing a Secondary from a Replicated Data Set.

  It is recommended that you stop all applications before you issue this command.

The Remove Primary from an RDS task performs the following by default:

• Dissociates the data volumes and SRL from the Primary RVG.
• Removes the Primary RVG.

  This command does not delete data volumes or the SRL from the Veritas Volume Manager configuration. This command can be issued from the Primary host only.

 To remove a Primary from an RDS

1. Choose Configure Replicated Data Set (RDS)> Remove Primary from an RDS.
2. Select the RVG from the list.
