We are trying to increase the disk in VNonStop, So we need to delete the Mirror disk. But when we try deleting it after stopping the Mirror Disk in scf we get a error wrong state which indicates the Primary is started state. Can you please help me with the exact procedure of doing it.

Hi,

If the error is Wrong State, here is what you can do, refer to page# 348-349, in, https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=a00022757en_us

Cause
The device is in a state that prevents it from performing the operation requested. This error can occur when you perform online as well as offline re-configuration. You cannot perform an online reconfiguration of a mirror drive while TSM ($ZTSM) is running.

Recovery
Verify the state of the device using the STATUS command. If needed, use the RESET command to change the state of the device before retrying the operation. If online reconfiguration of a mirror drive is desired, you might need to terminate the $ZTSM process using ABORT PROCESS $ZZKRN.#TSM-SRM. Restart $ZTSM after the online reconfiguration is complete.

Thank You!
