Removing a Secondary

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
In Management Server console, you can remove a secondary replicated volume group (RVG). Before performing this operation, you must stop replication to the specified secondary.
The Remove Secondary operation is irreversible. For the operation to be successful, replication to the secondary must be stopped. This operation does not delete data volumes. It only dissociates the data volumes from the secondary. This operation also removes the VCS configurations, if VCS configurations for replication exists.
This operation can be launched from the context of databases or hosts.
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.
