Delete a Storage Pool

  • Before you delete any other storage pool on an array, move its associated volumes to another pool or remove the volumes.

  • An alternative to deleting a pool is to merge it into another pool on an different array. The result is that the source pool no longer exists and the destination pool contains any volumes that were in the source pool. There must be enough space in the destination pool for the space occupied by the volumes and snapshots of the source pool.

You can delete a storage pool that is obsolete or no longer used after you add its member arrays to other storage pools.

NOTE: The default storage pool cannot be deleted.

The --force option forcibly deletes the pool even if it contains deleted volumes whose space is being reclaimed.
