3.9.1.4 Remove a Volume

An Exascale block volume is an arbitrary-sized allocation of storage space, which can be used as an Exascale Direct Volume (EDV) attachment or iSCSI target.

Removing a volume irreversibly deletes its contents. You cannot remove a volume with current attachments. You must remove all attachments to the volume before the volume can be removed.

To remove an existing volume, use the ESCLI rmvolume command and specify the identifier for the volume that is being removed. For example:

@> rmvolume volume-id

You can use the lsvolume command to find the identifier for each volume.
