When a coupling is initially created or after it is deactivated, it is in Standby mode.
Only a Standby coupling can be deleted. The command can only be issued on the
Master.
After the remote mirroring is deleted, both peers are configured as None, meaning
that they are no longer configured as either a master or a slave.

Only the remote mirroring coupling definition is deleted. The volumes themselves
are not deleted, nor their snapshots.
The local object specified in the vol parameter, must be a master.
to delete the remote mirroring coupling, the communication has to function. If
there is no communication, mirroring is only deleted on the master, and a
configuration error appears on the slave once the communication resumes.
