To delete the Primary RVG

1. Select Delete Primary from the Primary RVG right-click menu. The Delete Primary dialog box appears.

2. Depending on the current state of replication the appropriate message is displayed in the dialog box.

   • If replication is already stopped then the dialog displays a confirmation message asking you if you want to proceed with deleting the Primary RVG. Click Yes to delete the Primary RVG. Click No to cancel the operation.

   • If replication to any of the Secondary RVGs in the RDS is active, it must be stopped before you delete the Primary RVG. Otherwise, the Delete Primary dialog displays the following confirmation message:

     To delete the Primary RVG, replication to all the Secondary
     hosts must be stopped. Are you sure you want to stop the 
     replication and delete the Primary RVG?

   • If Volume Replicator is configured in a VCS or Microsoft Cluster and the cluster resource for this RVG exists, then Volume Replicator fails the Delete Primary operation as this can cause the resource to fail. In such a situation, first delete the cluster resource before deleting the RVG.

     To proceed, click Yes. Click No to cancel the operation.
