Parameters

Parameter Description
allVirtualDisks Deletes all virtual disks in a storage array.
  • NOTE: Using the allVirtualDisks parameter deletes virtual disks until all are removed or until an error is encountered. If an error is encountered, this command does not attempt to delete the remaining virtual disks.
virtualDisk or virtualDisks Name of the virtual disk to delete. You can enter more than one virtual disk name. You must put brackets ([ ]) around the virtual disk name. If the virtual disk name has special characters, you must also put quotation marks (" ") around the virtual disk name.
