3 Click Yes to fail back the mirror. The mirror is failed back-the original volume is restored as the mirror manager. Breaking a Mirrored Volume You can break a mirrored volume so that data on the original volume is no longer duplicated on the second volume. Note When you break a mirrored volume, you can change the duplicate volume into a new, independent volume by mounting it to a new location. To break a mirrored volume: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. 2 In the Volumes View, select the mirrored volume you want. 3 In the Actions menu, select Break mirror. The Break Mirror window opens. 4 To break the mirror without retaining the duplicate volume, skip to Step 5. To mount the duplicate volume to a new location: a From the iSCSI Storage Host drop-down list, select an iSCSI Storage Host on which to mount the volume. (Only iSCSI Storage Hosts are listed.) b Select a drive letter for the volume. (Only available drive letters are listed.) Alternatively, type the full path to an existing empty directory. 5 Click OK. Removing an Unavailable Mirror Plex If a mirror plex becomes unavailable (due to a power failure or a failed disk drive, for instance), follow the instructions in this section to permanently disassociate it from the mirror manager. Note To remove an online mirror plex, see "Breaking a Mirrored Volume" on page 77. To remove an unavailable mirror plex: 1 In the Volumes View, select the mirrored volume. 2 In the Actions menu, select Remove remote plex association. 3 Click Yes. The association is broken permanently, and the mirror plex can no longer be used for storage (even if it becomes available again). To recover the storage space, delete the underlying logical device (see page 105).
