Delete Oracle FS System LUNs

When an Oracle FS System LUN is no longer needed, you can delete it from the vSphere Client.

Prerequisites:

Administrator credentials to enable access to the Oracle FS System where the LUN will be deleted.
Be sure the volume to be deleted is not being accessed.

Deletion of a LUN fails if that LUN or any clones of the LUN are currently part of a datastore.

CAUTION

Deleting a LUN through the Oracle vSphere Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems permanently removes all data on that LUN. Lost data cannot be retrieved.

CAUTION

When you delete a LUN that is a parent or source for Clone LUNs, all child clones are deleted as well.

In the vSphere inventory tree, locate the ESX host with which the LUN is associated.
Select Manage Oracle FS Storage > Manage LUNs.
Result:A page appears that shows any discovered Oracle FS System that is connected to the vSphere environment.
Select the Oracle FS System where the LUN resides.
Authenticate your login credentials to the Oracle FS System if you have not yet done so, and click Next.
In the Manage LUNs page, select the LUN you want to delete from those listed on the page.
Click Delete LUN.
Result:The LUN is deleted from the Oracle FS System and no longer appears in the list.
