Storage decommission on VG8
We are decommissioning storage on VG8 and reclaiming disks back to VMAX. Removed all exports, File systems and reclaimed associate VMAX disks. There are still some root file systems and disks are in "in use" state.
[root@celerra1 nasadmin]# nas_fs -list
id inuse type acl volume name server
1 n 1 0 10 root_fs_1
2 y 1 0 40 root_fs_common 2,1
3 n 5 0 73 root_fs_ufslog
4 n 5 0 76 root_panic_reserve
5 n 5 0 93 root_fs_d3
6 n 5 0 94 root_fs_d4
7 n 5 0 95 root_fs_d5
8 n 5 0 96 root_fs_d6
9 y 1 0 12 root_fs_2 1
10 y 1 0 14 root_fs_3 2
13 y 1 0 112 root_fs_vdm_cifs_se 1
[root@celerra1 nasadmin]# nas_disk -list
id inuse sizeMB storageID-devID type name servers
1 y 11619 xxxxxxxxxx-00C3 STD root_disk 1,2
2 y 11619 xxxxxxxxxx-00C4 STD root_ldisk 1,2
3 y 2077 xxxxxxxxxxx-00C5 STD d3 1,2
4 y 2077 xxxxxxxxxxxx-00C6 STD d4 1,2
5 y 2077 xxxxxxxxxxxx-00C7 STD d5 1,2
6 y 65542 xxxxxxxxxxxxx-00C8 STD d6 1,2
13 y 246251 xxxxxxxxxxxxx-0572 ATA d13 1,2
Can some one please suggest to delete, so that we can reclaim remaining VMAX disks.
Appreciate your help

The root_* and d3-d6 you cannot delete from the VG8 side – it would destroy the system config
root_fs_vdm_cifs_se and d13 you can delete
check if you still have a VDM configured

I deleted VDM. Still see the file systems and Disks in use state. How to reclaim drives which are in "in use yes" state.
Can I delete the disks directly ?
Thanks

First you should delete the VDM rootfs – then check if the dvol still shows as in use

Rainer,
I deleted VDM, and associated disk. Remaining disks are
[nasadmin@corpcs11a ~]$ nas_disk -list
id inuse sizeMB storageID-devID type name servers
1 y 11619 000xxxxxxx-00C3 STD root_disk 1,2
2 y 11619 000xxxxxxx-00C4 STD root_ldisk 1,2
3 y 2077 000xxxxxxx-00C5 STD d3 1,2
4 y 2077 000xxxxxxx-00C6 STD d4 1,2
5 y 2077 000xxxxxxx-00C7 STD d5 1,2
6 y 65542 000xxxxxxx-00C8 STD d6 1,2
nas_pool -list
id inuse acl name storage system
1 n 0 symm_std 000xxxxxxx
How to remove the remaining disks?

I got it. 6 volumes are boot drives and part of system defined pool. I am good. Thank you
