Remove volume snapshots

Remove volumes from PowerFlex.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the volume you are removing is not mapped to any SDCs. If it is, unmap it before removing. For information, see "Unmap volumes". Also, ensure that the volume is not the source volume of any Snapshot Policy. You must first remove the volume from the Snapshot Policy before you can remove the volume.

About this task

Avoid deleting volumes or snapshots while the MDM cluster is being upgraded, to avoid causing a data unavailability status.
NOTE:Removal of a volume erases all the data on the corresponding volume.

Steps

  1. From the PowerFlex GUI, in the left pane, click Protection > Snapshots.
  2. In the right pane, select the relevant volume check box, and click More > Remove.
  3. In the Remove Volume <volume name> dialog box, verify the volumes to be removed and click Remove.
  4. In the warning dialog confirming the volumes to remove, click Remove .
  5. Verify that the operation completed successfully and click Dismiss.

Results

The volume is removed from the system.
