PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

Delete a storage unit

Because deleting a storage unit with compliance mode retention locking requires security officer credentials, automatic maintenance cannot remove these storage units. Instead, use this procedure to remove storage units with compliance mode retention locking.

Prerequisites

Before you can delete a storage unit, the storage unit must be empty and not targeted by any protection policies. The storage unit must be under the control of PowerProtect Data Manager and created by this instance of PowerProtect Data Manager.

If compliance mode retention locking is enabled, the security officer credentials for the associated protection storage system are required.

Steps

  1. From the left navigation pane, select Infrastructure > Storage.
    The Storage window appears.
  2. On the Protection Storage tab, select a storage system, and then select More Actions > Manage Storage Units.
    The Storage Units page opens and displays a list of the storage units under the control of PowerProtect Data Manager.
  3. Select a storage unit from the list, and then select Delete.
    The Enter Security Officer Credential dialog box opens.
  4. Provide the security officer credentials and then click OK.

Results

PowerProtect Data Manager removes the storage unit.
