4. In the list, select the pair volume that you want to release, right-click, and then select Delete
Pair from the menu. The Delete Pair dialog box displays.
5. From the Deleting Mode list, select one of the following:
• Normal: Deletes the pair or pairs only if the MCU can change the pair status of the P-VOL
and S-VOL to Simplex.
• All: Releases all Cnt Ac-S Z pairs with the same MCU and RCU (the same CU) as the
selected pair. You can select this option from either the MCU or RCU.
• Force: Forcibly deletes the pair or pairs, even when the main system is unable to
communicate with the remote system. Specifying Force allows host operations to continue.
NOTE: When the pairs selected for release are in Simplex status, the default setting is Force
(and therefore it cannot be changed). Otherwise, the default setting is Normal.
6. Click Set, and then Apply.
If the operation does not start normally, an error code displays in the Error Code column in
the Preview list. To display an error message, select the LDEV, right-click, and select Error
Detail.
7. Verify that operation completed successfully and that pair status is Simplex or Deleting on the
