Steps to go from VPLEX metro to VPLEX local

He Guys,

I have a running SQL cluster in one datacenter, which has been given Vplex Metro volumes, now the request is to transform these volumes to Vplex Local volumes ( as there is no requirment for Metro Volumes ).

- Can this be done on the fly ( without losing the data )

- Which steps are needed.

Thanks,

Ferry

Followed steps below, to go from vplex metro to vplex local

1: Distributed Storage -> remove Lun from Consistency Group

2: Cluster 1 & Cluster 2 -> remove Lun form Storage View

3: Distributed Storage -> Delete Lun from Virtual Volumes ( status Unexported )

4: Distributed Storage - > Distributed devices -> Select Devices and Delete !

5: Cluster 2: ( depend on local storage site)
         Devices: -> Create Virtual Volumes
                                      Add: (select device from Available devices )
6:       Cluster 2 -> Storage View : Add Virtual Volume to Storage View

7: Rescan Disk on Host / Put disk Online in Disk Management

Accomplished on the fly no data loss

Step One:

Detach one leg of the Distributed Device using the "device detach-mirror" command

Step Two:

Collapse the remaining Top Level device with the "device collapse" command
