Deleting volumes

You can delete a FlexVol volume or an Infinite Volume when you no longer require the data it contains or if you have copied the data it contains to another location. When you delete a volume, all the data in the volume is destroyed and you cannot recover this data.

Before you begin

•	If the FlexVol volume is cloned, the FlexClone volumes must be either split from the parent volume or be destroyed.

•	The volume must be unmounted and in the offline state.

Steps

1.	From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.

2.	Expand the Vservers hierarchy in the left navigation pane.

3.	In the navigation pane, select the Vserver and click Storage > Volumes or Infinite Volumes.

4.	Select the volumes that you want to delete and click Delete.

5.	Select the confirmation check box and click Delete.
