Delete a Storage Pool

  • Before you delete a storage pool on an array, you must move its associated volumes to another pool or remove the volumes. If you do not, the pool delete action will disconnect the pool from the array, leaving the volumes unassigned.

  • An alternative to deleting a pool is to merge it into another pool on 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.

You can delete a storage pool that is obsolete or no longer used after you add its member arrays to other storage pools.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 pool cannot be deleted.
  1. Select Manage → Data Storage.
  2. Click the name of the storage pool to delete.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. When prompted to confirm the deletion, click OK.
