Deleting Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency groups using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to delete Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency groups.

About this task

To delete existing Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency groups, complete these steps:

To delete a Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency group, run the rmrcconsistgrp command. For example, enter:
```
rmrcconsistgrp rc_consist_group_id 
```
Where rc_consist_group_id is the ID of the consistency group to delete.
If a Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency group is not empty, you must use the -force parameter to delete the consistency group. For example, enter:
```
rmrcconsistgrp -force rc_consist_group_id 
```
Where rc_consist_group_id is the ID of the consistency group to delete. This command causes all relationships that are members of the deleted group to become stand-alone relationships.

Important: Using the force parameter might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of your support center.
