Delete Volumegroup; Delete Logical Drive On A Disk Pool - IBM System Storage DS3000 Programming Manual

Parameter
logicalDrive or
logicalDrives
removesubsystem
Notes
When you use the allLogicalDrives parameter, this command deletes logical drives until all of the
logical drives are removed or until an error is encountered. If an error is encountered, this command does
not try to delete the remaining logical drives. Deleting logical drives from different subsystems is
possible. All of the subsystems that become empty are deleted if you set the removesubsystem parameter
to TRUE.
If you want to delete an entire subsystem, you can also use the delete subsystem command.

Delete VolumeGroup

This command deletes one or more standard logical drives, Enhanced FlashCopy logical drives, or
FlashCopy repository logical drives.
Syntax
Attention: All of the data in the logical drive group is lost as soon as you run this command.
This command deletes an entire VolumeGroup and its associated logical drives.
delete VolumeGroup [VolumeGroupName]
Parameters
None

Delete Logical Drive on a Disk Pool

This command deletes either normal or thin logical drives on a disk pool.
Attention: Possible damage to the storage subsystem configuration All of the data in the logical drive is
lost as soon as you run this command.
Syntax
delete (allLogicalDrives |
logicaldrive [logicaldriveName] |
logicaldrives [logicaldriveName1 ... logicaldriveNameN] | alllogicalDrives)
[removesubsystem=(TRUE | FALSE)
force=(TRUE | FALSE)
schedule
retainRepositoryMembers=(TRUE | FALSE)]
Description
The name of the logical drive that you want to delete.
You can enter more than one logical drive name
separated by spaces. Enclose the logical drive name in
square brackets ([ ]). If the logical drive name has
special characters, you also must enclose the logical
drive name in double quotation marks (" ").
Deleting the last logical drive in an subsystem does not
delete the subsystem. You can have a stand-alone
subsystem (minus any logical drives). To remove the
stand-alone subsystem, set this parameter to TRUE. To
keep stand-alone subsystems intact, set this parameter
to FALSE.
