Important:
You must delete all mirror relationships before you can deactivate the Remote Mirroring premium feature. If you do not delete all mirror relationships before performing this procedure, an error message is displayed.
This option does not disable the premium feature. While the premium feature is enabled you can activate the feature again using the Activate Remote Mirroring Wizard.
Using this option results in the deletion of the two mirror repository logical drives. This is the only way you can delete the mirror repository logical drives.
