Remove DataKeeper Storage from LifeKeeper

To remove an existing DataKeeper Resource/Mirror from LifeKeeper/SPS:

Without impacting the existing resources in LifeKeeper/SPS, i.e. File Shares, Oracle, SQL, DNS

Without having to run various emcmd commands, e.g. deletelocalmirroronly, cleanupmirror

Note: In the DataKeeper UI, “Switchover Mirrors”, “Delete Job” and “Delete Mirror” are grayed out in the Action Panel.

Reason: When a DataKeeper mirror is or becomes a part of LifeKeeper/SPS, all administration takes place at the LifeKeeper/SPS level.

Steps to Remove:

In LifeKeeper/SPS:

In the LifeKeeper GUI console, remove the dependency that the Volume is associated with:

Under Child Resource, select your Volume from the drop down list and click Next

Select Remove Dependency when the dialog pertaining to the Parent/Child dependency appears, then select Done

Now the Volume Resource is listed as a standalone hierarchy. To remove:

Right click on Volume/Volume Hierarchy and select Delete Resource Hierarchy . . .

Select Delete when the dialog pertaining to Volume Hierarchy and Target Server removal appears, then select Done

The DataKeeper Storage is no longer a resource in the LifeKeeper/SPS.

Select Yes when prompted “Are you sure you want to delete the ‘Volume (drive)’ and its mirror?”

If you have multiple mirrors/targets, select Delete Mirror and the jobs will be deleted also
