Hello

What I do is open up the developer tools on my browser, dump the rest call into a script and then pass it a list of all the ldev's I want to unprotect.

Here is a 'sample' video on how to do it using powershell, using lun creation as a sample, but you can do the same using method:
https://youtu.be/a4CCpywCbiU

Alternatively if they are all in protector you can easily mass select them in protector and break the replication and delete the secondary volume[Button next to the high-lighted volume]. After that you can clean up the primary volume in administrator if need be. Screenshot below:

Yes the X breaks down the replication and bin deletes the secondary side volume.

Yes you need to deactivate the dataflow.

For the remaining static copies. Just deactivate the data flow. Delete the static copies and the enable the data flow again.


Deactivating a data flow just means protector is no longer monitoring it. It still keeps volumes in pairs.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Some observations that might answer your question:

• You can not delete a volume that has an replication relationship. You need to 'tear down' the relationship first
• Once the volume is a Static Volume you can delete the secondary volume from protector. 
• You can mass delete volume or mass tear down volumes. But be mindful that you might have to ensure that the appropriate steps are followed, for instance that the dataflow is deactivated before you can do so. 
• After your cleanup you can activate the dataflow again if you like to ensure that Protector is monitoring the pair again, and that you can operate the pair within protector.  Or if you dont need it you can delete the dataflow.
