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 may suspend the disk units that you want to become unconfigured. For disk units that are not suspended, the selection is automatic.

If you want to stop mirroring on an independent disk pool that is unavailable, you can do so when your system is fully restarted. For all other disk pools, you need to restart your system to the dedicated service tools (DST) mode before stopping mirrored protection.

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

To stop mirrored protection, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections (or your active environment).

2. Expand the System i™ you want to examine,Configuration and Service > Hardware > Disk Units > Disk Pools.

3. Select the disk unit for which you want to stop mirrored protection.

4. Right-click any selected disk pool, and select Stop Mirroring.

5. Click Stop Mirroring from the resulting confirmation dialog box.
