Contexts

All contexts.

In /clusters/cluster/storage-elements/storage-volumes context, command is forget.

Syntax

storage-volume forget
  [-d|--storage-volumes] path [,path...]

Arguments

* - argument is positional.

Description

Storage volumes can be remembered even if a cluster is not currently in contact with them. Use this command to tell the cluster that the storage volumes are not coming back and therefore it is safe to forget about them.

You can use the storage-volume forget command only on storage volumes that are unclaimed or unusable, and unreachable.

This command also forgets the logical unit for this storage volume.

Use the storage-volume forget command to tell the cluster that unclaimed and unreachable storage volumes are not coming back and it is safe to forget them.

Forgotten storage volumes are removed from the context tree.

Use the --verbose argument to print a message for each volume that could not be forgotten.

Use the logical-unit forget command for the functionality supported by the removed arguments.

Example

Forget a specified storage volume:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes> forget --storage-volume VPD83T3:6006016021d0250027b925ff60b5de11

Forget all unclaimed, unused, and unreachable storage volume on the cluster:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes> storage-volume forget *
3 storage-volumes were forgotten.

Use the --verbose argument to display detailed information while you forget all unclaimed, unused, and unreachable storage volumes on the cluster:

VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes> storage-volume forget * --verbose
WARNING: Error forgetting storage-volume 'VPD83T3:60000970000192602773533030353933': The 'use' property of storage-volume VPD83T3:60000970000192602773533030353933' is 'meta-data' but must be 'unclaimed' or 'unusable' before it can be forgotten.
