Is there any impact on removing volume pairs in a status "StoppedMisconfigured" or "Unconfigured"?
Applies to
- NetApp SolidFire
- NetApp Element software
- NetApp SolidFire Cluster Pairs
- NetApp SolidFire Volume Replication
Answer
- There is no impact, after replication completes and you no longer need the volume pair relationship, or if the relationship's status is
Unconfigured - You can delete the volume relationship
- While deleting a volume that is paired with another volume, replication between the paired volumes is suspended and no data is transferred to them or from them while in a deleted state
- The remote volumes that the deleted volumes were paired with enter into a
PausedMisconfiguredstate and data is no longer sent to them or from the deleted volumes. - Until the deleted volumes are purged, they can be restored and data transfers resume
- If the deleted volumes are purged from the system, the volumes they were paired with enter into a
StoppedMisconfiguredstate and the volume pairing status is removed. The purged volumes become permanently unavailable
