Delete Virtual Drives Commands

The Storage Command Line Tool supports the following virtual drive delete commands:
storcli /cx/vx|vall del
storcli /cx/vx|vall del cachecade
storcli /cx/vx|vall del force
If you delete a virtual drive with a valid MBR without erasing the data and then create a new virtual drive using the
same set of physical drives and the same RAID level as the deleted virtual drive, the old unerased MBR still exists at
block0 of the new virtual drive, which makes it a virtual drive with valid user data. Therefore, you must provide the
force option to delete this newly created virtual drive.
The detailed description for each command follows.
storcli /cx/vx|vall del
This command deletes a particular virtual drive or, when the vall option is used, all the virtual drives on the
controller are deleted.
Input example:
storcli /c0/v2 del
storcli /cx/vx|vall del cachecade
This command deletes a specific CacheCade virtual drive on a controller, or all the CacheCade configuration for
a controller.
Value Range
NOTE If the virtual drive has user data, you must use the force option to
delete the virtual drive.
A virtual drive with a valid master boot record (MBR) and a partition
table is considered to contain user data.
NOTE This command deletes virtual drives. Data located on these drives will
no longer be accessible.
Creates a CacheCade virtual drive.
Sets the RAID type of the CacheCade virtual drive.
Enables or disables write cache.
Specifies the list of virtual drives associated with the new CacheCade
virtual drives.
