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

13        y    1   0     112       root_fs_vdm_cifs_se 1

[root@celerra1 nasadmin]# nas_disk -list

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?
