Stopping mirrored protection

When you stop mirrored protection, one disk unit from each mirrored pair is unconfigured. Before you can stop mirrored protection for a disk pool, at least one disk unit in each mirrored pair in that disk pool must be present and active.

To control which mirrored disk unit of each pair is unconfigured, you suspend the disk units that you want to become unconfigured. For disk units that are not suspended, the selection is automatic.

You need to restart your partition to the dedicated service tools (DST) mode before stopping mirrored protection.

Mirrored protection is dedicated to a single partition, and is distinct from cross-site mirroring.

To stop mirrored protection, follow these steps:

  1. On the Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display, select Work with disk units.
  2. On the Work with Disk Units display, select Work with disk configuration.
  3. On the Work with Disk Configuration display, select Work with mirrored protection.
  4. On the Work with Mirrored Protection display, select Start Mirrored protection.
  5. On the Select ASP to Start Mirrored Protection display, select the ASPs to start mirrored protection on.
  6. On the Confirm Start Mirrored Protection display, press Enter to confirm your choice.
