You can use System Manager to delete a 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.
