How to finish an Azure server replication

All

We replicated an on-premise Windows 2012 R2 Hyper V guest with 3 x 4TB drives more than a year ago. We only had to do the one and it worked perfectly. The on-premise machine we replicated from was switched off more than a year ago.

We have reduced the storage on this server and have removed one of the 4TB drives from it. We now want to delete that drive from Azure and leave the VM intact.

I can’t delete it until the replication is finalised though. In the attached image we have 2 options (commit) and (complete migration).

Both seem like likely options and I am leaning towards ‘commit’. Has anyone more experience with this who can assist please?

Thanks, Dave11905-2020-07-10-14-37-30.png

    Hi,
    i can see that failover is completed, to migrate the on-premises VM to Azure you should choose complete migration.

    The Commit action deletes all the recovery points available with the service. The Change recovery point option will no longer be available.
