NOTE:
If SolVe Desktop is required, follow KB How to Download and Install SolVe Desktop for installation. (A Dell Support account is required to view this article)
 

Note: 

• When the storage-volume unclaim command is used with VIAS based and non VIAS based storage volumes the result of the command will be different. 
• VIAS based virtual volumes will be removed from VPLEX they will no longer be visible. 
• Non VIAS based storage volumes will be marked as unclaimed. This is the intended behaviour.

Note: 

• During VPLEX Integrated Array Services (VIAS) virtual volume provisioning, the virtual volume can be added to new or existing VPLEX consistency groups using VPLEX GUI. 
• However, VPLEX command line interface will only support adding virtual volumes to existing VPLEX consistency groups.
