Celerra command to delete won't work

Question

I am new to my VNX and setup pools for file using "disk provisioning wizard for file". I'd like to delete these pools that I just setup, as they were just for testing. I have looked at this dicussion:

https://community.emc.com/thread/125511

But I can't run the command "nas_pool id=32 -delete -perm". I get the following error: "Error 2100: usage: nas pool". I am running on the latest code for file and block.

Let me know how to delete these test pools. The pools are not in use and I am logged in a root user.

Thanks

oh..odd..then I think I have something setup wrong. When I look at "storage pools for file" in unisphere, I see 2 storage pools that are listed in the above command. They have all the storage that I just provisioned to them though.. Clarata_r6 has around 30 TB and clarsas_archive has around 8 TB. How did all the storage I just added get added to those? I used the disk provisioning wizrd for file. How do I reclain this space?

Thanks in advance.

dynamox · Answer

these are system defined pools, do not touch them. Did you present some storage and now you are trying to pull it back ? If yes can you post output from 'nas_disk -l'

dynamox · Answer

disk 7-20 are the ones you provisioned, if you want to delete them you should run this command:

nas_disk -delete 7 -perm -unbind

nas_disk -delete 8 -perm -unbind

..and so on. This will properly remove these devices from VNX datamovers and then unbind them in Unisphere. When you are done the pools will be empty.

can we see output from 'nas_pool -l'
