Deleting a meta-volume

1. Navigate to the target volume’s context.

   For example:

   VPlexcli:> cd clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes/metadata_1/

2. Use the ll command to verify that the volume is not active.

   For example:

   VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes/metadata_1> ll
   Attributes:
   Name                    Value
   ----------------------  -----------
   active                  false
   application-consistent  false
   block-count             23592704
   block-size              4K
   .
   .
   .

3. Use the meta-volume destroy --meta-volume meta-volume command to delete the specified meta-volume.

   For example:

   VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/system-volumes/metadata_1> meta-volume destroy --meta-volume metadata_1

   A warning message appears:

   Meta-volume 'metadata_1' will be destroyed. Do you wish to continue? (Yes/No)

4. Type y.
   NOTE:After the deletion of a meta-data volume, delete the data on the storage volume through external means to avoid any future confusion.
