Details


Use the following syntax to remove/detach an rlink from the Windows command prompt.

Note: The name of the rlink can be determined by running vxprint. Further information about vxprint is found here: How to use Vxprint to verify Rlinks, hostnames and IP addresses for the primary and secondary replication partners match

1. Detach the Rlink

vxrlink -g [disk group] -r [rvg] det [rlink]

For example:

vxrlink -g testdg -r test_rvg det rlk_123_567890


2. Remove the rlink

vxrlink -g [disk group] -f rm [rlink]

For example:

vxrlink -g testdg -f rm rlk_123_567890
 
 

NOTE: Please be cautious when performing a "Remove Rlink" operation as it will remove the RVG for which the "Remove rlink" operation is performed. A full sync will be required to add that RVG again.
