SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Deployment Guide

Clean Up Test Volumes

After testing is complete, delete the volumes used for testing.

About this task

NOTE: During deployment, a Storage Type is created for each tier that defines the Redundancy Level. If you delete all test volumes, the Storage Type for each tier reverts to the default redundancy level. Creating new volumes will then require setting Storage Types to the desired redundancy level manually.  It is recommended that before deleting any test volumes, you create at least one volume in each Storage Type required by the customer. If all volumes are deleted before creating new volumes, you will need to manually update the redundancy levels for each Storage Type.

Steps

  1. Use Storage Manager to connect to the Storage Center.
  2. Click the Storage tab.
  3. From the Storage tab navigation pane, select the Volumes node.
  4. Create new volumes for the customer in each tier as required by their application.
  5. Select the test volumes to delete.
  6. Right-click on the selected volumes and select Delete. The Delete dialog box opens.
  7. Click OK.
  8. In the Volumes view, expand the Recycle Bin.
  9. In the right pane, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    The Empty Recycle Bin dialog box opens.
  10. Click OK to confirm that you want to permanently delete all volumes in the Recycle Bin.
