You can delete a FlexCache relationship and the FlexCache volume if you no longer require the FlexCache volume.

Before you begin

If you have FlexCache write-back enabled, you must disable it before you can delete a FlexCache volume. See Disable write-back on a FlexCache volume.

Steps

  1. From the cluster that has the FlexCache volume, take the FlexCache volume offline:

    volume offline -vserver svm_name -volume volume_name

  2. Delete the FlexCache volume:

    volume flexcache delete -vserver svm_name -volume volume_name

    The FlexCache relationship details are removed from the origin volume and the FlexCache volume.
