You need to disassociate fast policy from the storage group

yes, i just want to dissociate this storage group SG_sclwebni from Fast Vp because i am going to destroy all, this is my policy
i found the command to do that, but i have a question, do i need to disable fast vp before do that, i mean, can i disassociate without disable the fast vp??

i guess my previous message got cut off (i updated it), you just want to dissociate from that particular storage group before you reclaim it.
