Deleting volumes

You can use System Manager to delete a FlexVol volume or an Infinite Volume when you no longer require the data that a volume contains, or if you have copied the data that a volume contains to another location. When you delete a volume, all the data in the volume is destroyed, and you cannot recover this data.

Before you begin

If the FlexVol volume is cloned, the FlexClone volumes must be either split from the parent volume or destroyed.
The volume must be unmounted and must be in the offline state.
If the volume is in one or more SnapMirror relationships, the SnapMirror relationships must be deleted.
You can delete a complete SnapLock Enterprise volume or a file in a SnapLock Enterprise volume; however, you cannot delete only the data within a file in a SnapLock Enterprise volume.
You cannot delete a SnapLock Compliance volume if data is committed to the volume.

Steps

Click Storage > Volumes.
From the Volumes on SVM list, select the storage virtual machine (SVM) in which the volume that you want to delete resides.
Select the volumes that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
Select the confirmation check box, and then click Delete.
