Deleting a distributed device

About this task

The Delete operation deletes a distributed device and the unexported virtual volume on the device. It leaves the underlying device structure intact, and returns the top-level devices to the appropriate cluster.  The Delete operation will fail if you try to delete a distributed device that has an exported virtual volume.

Steps

  1. In the GUI main menu, do the following:
    1. In a metro node Local:
      1. Select Provision Storage.
      2. In the View by drop-down, select Devices.
    2. In a metro node Metro:
      1. Select Provision Storage.
      2. In the Provision on drop-down, select the Distributed Storage.
      3. In the View By drop-down, select Devices.
  2. In the Distributed Devices screen, select the distributed devices to delete, and then click DELETE.
    A confirmation dialog box is displayed.
  3. Review the distributed devices to delete and the clusters to which the underlying devices will return upon completing the operation. If satisfied, click Yes.
    The results dialog box is displayed.
  4. Review the results of the operation and proceed accordingly.
  5. Click Close to continue.
    The underlying devices are now visible in the Devices screen under the appropriate clusters.
