Delete a storage unit if you no longer need to maintain the data contained in the unit. Deleting storage units that are no longer needed can help you free space needed for other host applications.

Before you begin

If the storage unit you want to delete is in a consistency group that is in replication relationship, you must remove the storage unit from the consistency group before you delete it.

Steps

  1. In System Manager, select Storage.

  2. Hover over the name of the storage unit you want to delete.

  3. Select three vertical blue dots; then select Delete.

  4. Acknowledge that the deletion cannot be undone.

  5. Select Delete.

What's next?

You can use the space freed from the deleted storage unit to increase the size of storage units that need additional capacity.
