container delete

To delete an array from the currently opened controller, use the
container delete command.

Notes

If you are deleting an array on a NetWare system, you must first go
to the NetWare console and remove the corresponding volume and
partition. For information on how to perform these operations, see
the appropriate NetWare documentation.
After you delete an array on a NetWare server, you must run the list
devices command on the NetWare console so that the
corresponding virtual disk is removed from the system's internal
device table.

Syntax

container delete [/always{=boolean}]
[/unconditional{=boolean}]{container}

Parameters

{container}
Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array to delete. The
array can be any array on the controller.
You can never delete an array if files are open on it.
for the syntax associated with specifying a partner and a
container ID.

Switches

/always{=boolean}
Specifies whether to delete the array, even if it has a file
system. If you specify TRUE, the command deletes the array
even if it has a file system. If you specify FALSE, the command
deletes the array only if it has no file system.
This switch defaults to FALSE. In both cases, all user files must
be closed; the /always switch cannot override this restriction.
