DESCRIPTION

Deleting a drive group removes its record from the Oracle FS System. Before deleting a drive group that contains data, you must exclude the drive group from the Storage Domain by running the drive_group -modify -excludeFromStorageDomain command. Then, you can remove the physical drives from the Oracle FS System. Run the drive_group ‑delete command only after running the drive_group ‑list ‑details command to confirm that all of the drives in the drive group are marked MISSING.

CAUTION

Do not remove a Drive Enclosure from the Oracle FS System without first excluding the drive groups from the Storage Domains in which the drive groups reside. Physically removing a Drive Enclosure without first excluding the drive groups from their Storage Domains can cause data loss. Excluding the drive groups impacts performance and can cause latency.

Only administrators with primary administrator, admin1, or support roles are authorized to run this command.

OPTIONS

‑driveGroup: Specifies the fully qualified name (FQN) or the unique identifier (ID) of the drive group. When a Drive Enclosure is added to the Oracle FS System, the system automatically allocates the storage by generating one or more drive groups. The drive_group ‑list command displays the names of all drive groups that are defined on the Oracle FS System. The FQN consists of the name that the system generates preceded by a forward slash (/) character.

EXAMPLE

Task

Complete the process of removing a Drive Enclosure from the Oracle FS System by deleting the drive groups. In this example, only one drive group resides on the Drive Enclosure.

Note: The drive group must be removed from the Storage Domain before running this example.

Parameters

The fully qualified name (FQN) of the drive group: /⁠⁠ENCLOSURE01–DG001

$ fscli drive_group ‑delete ‑driveGroup /⁠ENCLOSURE01‑DG001
