Accelerating the Thin Image pair deletion process
You can shorten the time that a Thin Image pair is in the process of being
deleted ("SMPL(PD)" status). If the pair status is "SMPL(PD)", you cannot
recreate a Thin Image pair, and you cannot assign an S-VOL to snapshot
data, release an assignment, or change an assignment.
Procedure
1. Delete the snapshot data by resynchronizing the pair.
This puts the pair in "PAIR" status.
