Delete a Volume

There are some important points to keep in mind when you plan to delete a volume:

  • You cannot delete a volume if it has snapshots that are online.

    Deleting a volume also deletes any snapshots of the volume.

  • You cannot delete a volume that has a clone.

    Clones share the original data with the source volume.

  • When an upstream replicated volume is deleted, the downstream volume is not automatically deleted, in order to provide protection from accidentally deleting a volume.
  • A downstream volume cannot be deleted when replication to it is configured.
Caution:
When you delete a volume, all data stored on the volume and all of the associated snapshots will be destroyed.
  1. Choose Manage → Data Storage.
  2. Check the volume or volumes you want to delete.
  3. (Optional) Go to the ellipsis icon and click Set Offline , then click Yes.
  4. Click the X icon to delete the volume or volumes.
