You can delete a host or host cluster.

About this task

Keep these guidelines in mind when you delete a host or a host cluster:

  • Any specific volume assignments are deleted, and the associated volumes are available for a new assignment.

  • If the host is part of a host cluster that has its own specific assignments, the host cluster is unaffected. However, if the host is part of a host cluster that does not have any other assignments, the host cluster and any other associated hosts or host port identifiers inherit any default assignments.

  • Any host port identifiers that were associated with the host become undefined.

Steps

  1. From the left panel, select Storage › Hosts.

  2. Select the host or host cluster that you want to delete, and then click the ellipsis icon › Delete.

    The confirmation dialog box appears.

  3. Confirm that you want to perform the operation, and then click Delete.

Results

If you deleted a host, the system performs the following actions:

  • Deletes the host and, if applicable, removes it from the host cluster.

  • Removes access to any assigned volumes.

  • Returns the associated volumes to an unassigned state.

  • Returns any host port identifiers associated with the host to an unassociated state.

If you deleted a host cluster, the system performs the following actions:

  • Deletes the host cluster and its associated hosts (if any).

  • Removes access to any assigned volumes.

  • Returns the associated volumes to an unassigned state.

  • Returns any host port identifiers associated with the hosts to an unassociated state.
