You can modify the replication configuration of a volume collection or the volumes in the collection.

replication settings.
2. In the Volume Collection – Modify Replication Settings dialog box, you can change the partner name for the
collection. You can also click the partner name next to a volume to change the replication configuration for the
volume. See Modifying volume replication configuration

Disabling replication
Disabling replication for a volume or volume collection unconfigures replication on the volume or volume
collection.
Disabling replication does not delete the vol
ume replicas stored on the partner. You can log in to the partner and
access the replicas.
If you later reconfigure replication on the same volume
to the same partner, you must delete the existing replica set
on the partner before creating a replica. The first replication is a complete copy of the volume data.
Note: When you disable replication on a volume, the delegated space on the secondary group that is storing the
replic
as becomes unmanaged space; that is, the space cannot be managed from the primary group. If you do
not need the replicas, log into the secondary group and delete the replica set.
Restriction: Yo
u cannot disable replication on a template volume if any attached thin clones have
replication enabled.
To disable replication for one volume:
1. Click
Volumes, then expand Volumes, then select the volume name, and then click Disable volume
replication.
2. Confirm that you want to disable replication on the volume.
To disable replication for a volume collection:
1. Click
Volumes, then expand Volume Collections, then select the collection name, and then click
Disable volume replication.
2. Confirm that you want to disable replication on the volume collection.
