  1. Suspend the target GAD pair by specifying the P-VOL.
    Command example:
    pairsplit –g oraHA02 –IH2
  2. Verify that the target GAD pair has been suspended.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay –g oraHA02 –fcxe –IH2
    Group PairVol(L/R) (Port#,TID, LU),Seq#, LDEV#.P/S,
    Status,Fence,%, P-LDEV# M CTG JID AP EM E-Seq# E-LDEV# R/W

  3. Delete the target GAD pair.
    Command example:
    pairsplit –g oraHA02 –S –IH2
  4. Verify that the target GAD pair has been deleted.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay –g oraHA02 –fcxe –IH2
    Group PairVol(L/R) (Port#,TID, LU),Seq#, LDEV#.P/S,
    Status,Fence,%, P-LDEV# M CTG JID AP EM E-Seq# E-LDEV# R/W

  5. Delete the temporary GAD pair by specifying the P-VOL.
    If there are no update I/Os issued to the failure location, the temporary GAD pair created for migration might not be suspended. In that case, you need to forcibly delete the temporary GAD pair. First, forcibly delete the S-VOL without leaving the virtual LDEV ID. Next, forcibly delete the P-VOL leaving the virtual LDEV ID.

    Command example for normal deletion:

    pairsplit –g oraHA01 –S –IH0

    Command example for forced deletion:

    pairsplit -g oraHA01 -RF -IH2
    pairsplit -g oraHA01 -SFV -IH0
    
  6. Verify that the temporary GAD pair has been deleted.
    Command example:
    pairdisplay –g oraHA01 –fcxe –IH0
    Group PairVol(L/R) (Port#,TID, LU),Seq#, LDEV#.P/S,
    Status,Fence,%, P-LDEV# M CTG JID AP EM E-Seq# E-LDEV# R/W

  7. Recover from the failure on the source GAD pair by performing the procedure described in Pair condition and recovery: P-VOL failure (LDEV blockade), and then restart data migration from the beginning.
