You can delete a LUN from a storage virtual machine (SVM) if you no longer need the LUN.

What you'll need

The LUN must be unmapped from its igroup before you can delete it.

Steps

  1. Verify that the application or host is not using the LUN.

  2. Unmap the LUN from the igroup:

    lun mapping delete -vserver <SVM_name> -volume <volume_name> -lun <LUN_name> -igroup <igroup_name>
    Cli
    Copy

  3. Delete the LUN:

    lun delete -vserver <SVM_name> -volume <volume_name> -lun <LUN_name>
    Cli
    Copy

  4. Verify that you deleted the LUN:

    lun show -vserver <SVM_name>
    Cli
    Copy
    Vserver   Path              State    Mapped  Type     Size
