How to Remove a Stripe, Concatenation, or Concatenated Stripe (DiskSuite Tool)

1. Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Removing DiskSuite Objects"), and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Removing Stripes and Concatenations").

2. Make sure you have a current backup of the metadevice.

3. Stop access to the metadevice.

   For example, a file system on the metadevice should be unmounted. For a non-UFS application, such as a database, perform the steps necessary to stop the application's use of the metadevice.

4. Double-click the stripe or concatenation to be deleted in the Objects list.

   The metadevice object appears on the canvas.

5. Display the object's pop-up menu and choose Delete.

6. Click Really Delete on the dialog box that is displayed.

7. [Optional] If there is an entry in the /etc/vfstab file for this metadevice, delete that entry.

   You do not want to confuse the system by asking it to mount a file system on a non-existent metadevice.

8. To verify that the object was deleted, display the Configuration Log.

   Note -

   Hot spare pools assigned to the metadevice are not deleted.
