Hi,  Some how i felt STD dev "0400" is free and configured same to on of my prod server but later i found that same is paired to BCV "0804" which is not in use. however now i would like to unconfig the pair to make my prod server safer side. can anyone hlep me out how to unconfig bcv dev "0804" paired to STD dev "0400"?    symdev -sid 73 show 0804      Device Physical Name     : Not Visible      Device Symmetrix Name    : 0804    Device Serial ID         : N/A    Symmetrix ID             : 000xxxxxxxxx      Vendor ID                : EMC    Product ID               : SYMMETRIX           Product Revision         : 5670      Device Emulation Type    : FBA                Device Defined Label Type: N/A                Device Defined Label     : N/A                Device Sub System Id     : 0x0009      Device Block Size        : 512      Device Capacity        {         Cylinders            :      37180        Tracks               :     557700        512-byte Blocks      :   35692800        MegaBytes            :      17428        KiloBytes            :   17846400        }      Device Configuration     : BCV             (Meta Head,                                                Non-Exclusive Access)      Device is WORM Enabled   : No    Device is WORM Protected : No      SCSI-3 Persistent Reserve: Disabled      Dynamic Spare Invoked    : No      Dynamic RDF Capability   : None      Device Service State     : Normal             Device Status            : Not Ready        (NR)    Device SA Status         : Ready            (RW)      Front Director Paths (2):        {         ----------------------------------------------------------------------                                 POWERPATH  DIRECTOR   PORT             LUN                                    --------- ----------  ---- -------- ---------        PdevName                 Type      Type Num    Sts  VBUS TID SYMM Host        ----------------------------------------------------------------------        Not Visible              N/A       FA   08A:1  RW   000  00  095  N/A        Not Visible              N/A       FA   09A:1  RW   000  00  095  N/A        }      Meta Configuration       : Striped    Meta Stripe Size         : 960k    (2 Cylinders)    Meta Device Members (2)  :        {         ----------------------------------------------------------------------                               BCV  DATA                    RDF  DATA                               ----------------------------  --------------------------        Sym    Cap    Std Inv BCV Inv Pair          R1 Inv R2 Inv Pair                Dev    (MB)   Tracks  Tracks  State         Tracks Tracks State               ----------------------------------------------------------------------    --> 0804   8714        0  278460  Split              -      - N/A                 0805   8714        0  278850  SplitNoInc         -      - N/A                 ----------------------------------------------------------------------              17428        0  557310                     -      -        }      Mirror Set Type          : [Data,N/A,N/A,N/A]      Mirror Set DA Status     : [RW,N/A,N/A,N/A]      Mirror Set Inv.
