Removing all replication relationships between a domain and a storage server

Complete the following steps to remove all replication relationships between two domains. The procedure refers to domain D1 and a storage server in domain D2:

To remove all replication relationships between a domain and a storage server

  1. In domain D1:

    Run the following command on the master server:

    nbdecommission -list_ref -oldserver storage_server_name - machinetype replication_host

    The output lists:

    • All of the storage servers in the domain that reference the deprecated storage server as a replication target or a replication source.

    • All of the targeted A.I.R. replication SLPs that reference an SLP that imports to the deprecated storage server.

    Note:

    If an SLP has in-process images, either wait until those images are complete or cancel them before decommissioning the storage server. Note that this includes SLPs of all versions. Use the SLP utility command (nbstlutil) to cancel the processing of existing SLP-managed images.

    See Lifecycle operation administration using the nbstlutil command.

  2. Remove the replication operations from the targeted A.I.R. storage lifecycle polices that were found in step 1.

    If these SLPs are no longer necessary, the SLPs can be deleted now.

  3. Remove the replication relationships that were found in step 1.

    See Adding or removing a replication relationship between two storage servers.

    Any remaining A.I.R. storage lifecycle polices in both domains that are no longer necessary can be deleted now.

  4. Run the following command to decommission the storage server:

    nbdecommission -oldserver storage_server_name - machinetype replication_host
