Name
Main > Manage > Storage > Remove — Use this command to remove a storage disk.
SYNOPSIS
Remove DiskID
DESCRIPTION
The command removes a storage disk and changes the state to New Available. You can remove disks with status In Use that do not contain any partitions. You can also remove disks with status Foreign.
If the disk has a In Use status and has partitions, you must first move the partitions to other disks. Use the Show Distribution command to see the partitions that are on the disk and then use the Move command to move the partitions to another disk. Once the partitions have been moved, try removing the disk again.
A disk with status Foreign may have data. If you try to remove such a disk, any data present on it is also removed.
OPTIONS
- Remove DiskID
Use to remove an existing disk and changes the state to New Available. Retrieve the disk ID by running the Show Disk command. For example, a sample Disk ID is S0001FB3BC00000A62501ABDA0000009se.
Warning:
After removing a storage disk, if the appliance reboots it can hang and display the Boot splash screen. Press the ESC key to proceed. The RAID controller firmware provides step-by-step instructions to help you boot the appliance.
