Device Manager - Storage Navigator - Hitachi VSP G200 System Administration Manual

has NAS modules, resources will also include file pools, virtual file servers,
file systems, and shares and exports. Common actions can be performed on
the inventory pages, such as the following:
• You can select one or more resources and delete them.
When you delete a storage system, you disassociate it from Storage
Advisor. When you delete a pool or volume, the resource is de-provisioned
and removed from the storage system.
• When a parity group is deleted, it is removed from the storage system and
the disks used to create the parity group are no longer in use. You can
delete the parity group if you want to reconfigure the storage system with
some other RAID configuration or simply decommission the array. If the
parity group is in use by a pool, the parity group deletion will fail.
• You can select one or more of the same type of resources and update their
properties. The properties that can be updated depend on the type of
resource.
• You can click a particular resource to see more details about it on its
resource detail page.
○ When you delete a block pool, the parity groups used by the pool will no
longer be in In Use status. The pool volumes on these parity groups will
be formatted and the parity group will eventually be in Available status.
○ When you delete a volume, the pool subscription will go down. Volume
deletion will fail if the volume participates in data protection or is
attached to a server.
○ When you delete a file pool, the underlying related block pool is deleted.
○ When you delete a server, the server is disassociated from Storage
Advisor. You will no longer be able to provision volumes to the server
(or its WWNs). Server deletion will fail if it has volumes attached to it.
