Deleting replication configurations
If you need to fail over to the destination file system, delete the replication configuration of which it is a member. After you delete a replication configuration, the destination file system becomes writeable and its replication overwrite protection is re-enabled. For more information, see Using the replica.
Deleting a replication configuration and changing the destination file system to be
writeable can take several minutes to complete. After the configuration is deleted, Amazon EFS might
write some data to a lost+found
directory in the root directory of the destination
file system, using the following naming convention:
efs-replication-lost+found-
source-file-system-id-TIMESTAMP
Note
You cannot delete a file system that is part of a replication configuration. You must delete the replication configuration before deleting the file system.
You can delete an existing replication configuration from either the source or the destination file system by using the Amazon EFS console, the AWS CLI, or the API.
Open the Amazon Elastic File System console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/efs/
. In the left navigation pane, choose File systems.
Choose either the source or the destination file system that is in the replication configuration that you want to delete.
Choose the Replication tab to display the Replication section.
Choose Delete replication to delete the replication configuration. When prompted, confirm your choice.
To delete a replication configuration, use the
delete-replication-configuration
CLI command. The equivalent API command is DeleteReplicationConfiguration.
To specify which replication configuration that you're deleting, use the
source-file-system-id
parameter.
aws efs --region
us-west-2
delete-replication-configuration \ --source-file-system-idfs-0123456789abcdef1
