Removing a Cloud Storage Pool

You can remove a Cloud Storage Pool that is not used in an ILM rule and that does not contain object data.

Before you begin

You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
You must have specific access permissions.
You have confirmed that the S3 bucket or Azure container does not contain any objects. An error occurs if you attempt to remove a Cloud Storage Pool if it contains objects. See Troubleshooting Cloud Storage Pools.
Note: When you create a Cloud Storage Pool, StorageGRID writes a marker file to the bucket or container to identify it as a Cloud Storage Pool. Do not remove this file, which is named x-ntap-sgws-cloud-pool-uuid.
You have already removed any ILM rules that might have used the pool.

Select ILM > Storage Pools.
The Storage Pools page appears.
Select the radio button for a Cloud Storage Pool that is not currently used in an ILM rule.
You cannot remove a Cloud Storage Pool if it is used in an ILM rule. The Remove button is disabled.
Click Remove.
A confirmation warning is displayed.
Click OK.
The Cloud Storage Pool is removed.
