Deleting non dynamic pair where R2 is write enabled.
Folks,
We have a non dynamic RDF pairing, where the R2 devices are currently write enabled, and masked/assigned to a host. I now wish to return the R1 devices to the storage pool. I spilt the RDF pairings using a DG, and unmapped the R1 devices. I now see the status of the RDF pair state as being failed over. If I convert the R1 devices back to STD RAID5, will this traverse the link, e.g. will the write enabled R2 devices become RAID5 devices also? What I am most concerned about it the R2 devices not becoming write disabled at any stage in the process. Not familar with this scenario (deleting the RDF pair (non dynamic) where the R2 is write enabled. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Da

- convert the R1 back to RAID-5
- the old R1 will become a write enabled STD
- the old R2 will become a write enabled STD
I'm not sure whether this can be done in the failed over scenario, but I can't imagine why not
