Inactivate a Protection Domain
Inactivate a Protection Domain.
About this task
NOTE:If the Protection Domain is inactive, the data remains on the SDSs. It is preferable to remove a Protection Domain if it is not being used.
When the inactivation feature is in effect, the following activities can take place, behind the scenes:
- Determine if there are any current rebuild/rebalance activities taking place. If so, the shutdown will be delayed (unless it is forced) until they are finished.
- Block future rebuild/rebalance activities.
- Quiesce (temporarily disable) application I/O and disable access to volumes.
- Move the DRL mode of all SDSs to harden, in preparation for restarting the server.
- Reload of all SDSs before re-enabling data access.
Steps
- From the PowerFlex GUI, in the left pane, click .
- In the right pane, select the relevant Protection Domain check box, and click . Confirm by clicking Inactivate.
- In the Inactivate Protection Domain <PD name>, enter the user password to the PowerFlex GUI and click Inactivate.
- Verify that the operation completed successfully and click Dismiss.
