Modifying partner passwords
If you make a modification on one partner, you must make the reciprocal modification on the other partner. The
password in the
Password for partner field on one partner must match the password in the Password
obtained from partner
field on the other partner.
To modify partner passwords:
1. Click
Replication, then select the partner, and then click Modify passwords.
2. In the Modify Replication Partner - Passwords window, change each password.
3. Click
OK.
Modifying space delegated to a partner
Restriction: You cannot decrease the space delegated to a lower capacity than is currently used to
store the partner’s replicas.
To modify the space delegated to a partner:
1. Click
Replication, then select the partner, and then click Modify delegated space.
2. In the Modify Delegated Space dialog box, enter the new delegated spac
e value or change the delegated space
pool.
The Pool Space table shows how pool space is currently used
and how much space is used after the change. If
the new delegated space exceeds the capacity of the pool, the color of the table cell showing free pool space
changes to red. Changing the pool moves all the replicas and any recovery volumes for the partner to the new
pool.
3. Click
OK.
Deleting a replication partner
Deleting a replication partner breaks the replication relationship between the two groups. The next replication of a
volume configured to use the deleted partner pauses or fails.
Deleting a partner deletes any inbound replicas stored in space
that the group delegated to the partner. Then, the
delegated space becomes free pool space. However, replicas stored on the deleted partner are not deleted, and you
can access them by logging in to the partner.
Note: If the group is hosting a recovery volume from th
e partner, do one of the following before you delete the
partner:
• Demote the recovery volume to an inbou
nd replica set (which is deleted when you delete the partner).
Double-click the recovery volume in the far-left panel and click
Demote to replica set.
• Promote the recovery volume to a permanent volume.
