Suspending mirrored protection

 

If a disk unit in a mirrored pair fails, you need to suspend mirroring to repair or replace it.

If you want to suspend 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 suspending mirroring.

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

To suspend 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 > All Disk Units.

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

4. Right-click the selected disk unit and select Suspend Mirroring.
