How to delete TDEVs from symclone that aren't associated to a group
Hello. Hopefully someone can walk me through what I hope is a simple answer. I have the following defined in symclone:
symclone -vse list
Symmetrix ID: 000195702631
Source Device Target Device Status
------------------------- ---------------------- -------------
Protected
Sym Tracks Sym CGDP SRC <=> TGT
------------------------- ---------------------- -------------
1559 1046755 1554 V... CopyOnWrite
I have tried just about everything, but I cannot seem to remove this entry. Any suggestions would be greatly helpful.

can you add them to a device file and terminate ?

No. I have tried that also. I did open a support ticket with EMC.

Mr Kejames2,
Dynamox is correct as usual, using a device file you should be able to terminate these pairs.
Create the file as below
devices.txt
1559 1554
symclone -sid 632 -f devices.txt terminate -nop
if this didn't work what error message did you get?, you can also try -force and -symforce. If the devices are not metahead and meta member you may need to identify the meta head of source and target and retry the command with -force and -symforce. This should work otherwise PSE will need to connect to the frame and manually terminate the sessions with inlines.

Thanks to both Dynamox and Paul Martin. I swear I tried the first method to create the file and terminate, but I must have done something wrong. I followed Paul's instructions and it took. Thanks to you both, much appreciated.
