Take down a mirror chunk
When a mirror chunk is down, the database server cannot write to it or read from it. You might take down a mirror chunk to relink the chunk to a different device. (See Relink a chunk to a device after a disk failure.)
Taking down a chunk is not the same as ending mirroring. You end mirroring for a complete dbspace, which causes the database server to drop all the mirror chunks for that dbspace.
