Frequently Asked Questions
Stale relationships, real capacity and the Zambia lane.
IBM Support in Zambia After End of Life
An array short of capacity, where the volumes in use plainly do not account for what has been consumed, usually has something holding space that nobody is thinking about. Very often it is a set of copy relationships created for a system that was switched off years ago and never cleaned up.
A Relationship Consumes Capacity Whether or Not Its Partner Exists
Snapshots, clones and mirrors reserve and consume real space on the array. That consumption is a property of the relationship itself, not of whether the remote system is reachable. Decommission the partner and the relationship remains defined, still holding what it was allocated, still counted against the pool, and no longer serving any purpose at all.
It is reported as the wrong kind of problem
The array will usually show these as stopped or disconnected, which reads as a replication issue. Replication is somebody specific job, capacity is somebody else, and the two views are rarely looked at together. The shortfall is therefore investigated as a capacity question while the explanation sits in a screen labelled with a different concern.
Cleaning up requires knowing what each one was for
Deleting a relationship reclaims its capacity and may also remove a recovery point. Some relationships still have a local purpose even after the remote partner has gone, and distinguishing those from genuinely dead ones is archaeology on an estate whose documentation has thinned. That investigation, not the deletion, is the real work, and it is why these accumulate.
