Removing the mirrors of volumes
Volume mirrors are the copies of volumes that are retained in a disk. These disks are updated concurrently when the data in the original volume change. In certain circumstances, such as to free some disk space, you may want to remove the mirrors that you have configured for a volume. The Management Server console lets you add and remove the following types of mirrors:
-
A mirror that has been created for a volume.
-
A snapshot mirror which is configured to use as a break-off mirror for a volume.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
