Use one of the following methods to delete a soft partition:
From the Enhanced Storage tool within the Solaris Management Console, open the Volumes node. Choose the soft partition that you want to expand, then choose Action->Properties, then follow the instructions on screen. For more information, see the online help.
To delete a soft partition, use one of the following forms of the metaclear command:
metaclear [-s disk-set] component metaclear [-s disk-set] -r soft-partition metaclear [-s disk-set] -p component |
where:
disk-set is the disk set in which the soft partition exists.
soft-partition is the soft partition to delete.
r specifies to recursively delete logical volumes, but not volumes on which others depend.
p specifies to purge all soft partitions on the specified component, except those soft partitions that are open.
component is the component from which to clear all of the soft partitions.
This example shows how to delete all soft partitions on c1t4d2s0.
# metaclear -p c1t4d2s0 |
