Delete volumes

Remove volumes from PowerFlex.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the volume that you are deleting is not mapped to any hosts. If it is, unmap it before deleting it. In addition, ensure that the volume is not the source volume of any snapshot policy. You must remove the volume from the snapshot policy before you can remove the volume.

About this task

To prevent causing a data unavailability scenario, avoid deleting volumes or snapshots while the MDM cluster is being upgraded.
CAUTION:All data is erased from a deleted volume.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Block > Volumes.
  2. In the list of volumes, select the required volume, and click More Actions > Delete.
  3. In the Delete Volume dialog box, verify the volumes to be removed, and click Delete.
  4. In the warning dialog box, click Delete.
  5. Verify that the operation has finished and was successful, and click Dismiss.
