You can delete the last VDC associated with a user replication group when the VDC fails permanently.
Prerequisites
This operation requires the System Administrator role in ECS.
About this task
You can delete the failed VDC from the system after all references to user replication groups have been removed. After the last VDC is removed, the replication group will no longer appear in the list of user replication groups. After the last VDC is removed the replication group can no longer be used. Any attempt to perform operations to the deleted replication group such as adding an active VDC to it results in an error.
Steps
Shut down the VDC and wait for 15 minutes.
Replication group (RG) with a single VDC: In RG level, the shutdown VDC status is shown as
Unattainable.
Replication group (RG) with more than one VDC: In RG level, the shutdown VDC status is shown as
Temporarily Unavailable.
