Unconfiguring a Storage Pool (BUI)

Unconfiguring a storage pool removes any active filesystems and LUNs and makes the raw storage available for future storage configuration. This process can be undone by importing the unconfigured storage pool, if the raw storage has not since been used as part of an active storage pool.

Note:

If the storage pool contains a file that is actively retained using the mandatory file retention policy, the pool cannot be unconfigured until all mandatory file retention has expired. For more information, see File Retention Management.

Caution:

Unconfiguring a pool renders data inaccessible, creates the potential for data loss, and fails inbound replications.

Before You Begin

Do not unconfigure a pool while a disk firmware upgrade is occurring. To check if an upgrade is in progress, from the Maintenance menu, select System.
Do not unconfigure a pool while the peer controller is down or unreachable.
If an error message reports that the target is in use, wait and try the operation again.

From the Configuration menu, select Storage.
From the Available Pools list, select an online pool to unconfigure.
Click UNCONFIG.
