Deleting an unused volume

When a storage volume is unused and no longer required, you can delete it.

Important: You cannot delete volumes that are currently used by datastores or as a raw-mapped LUN.

In vSphere Web Client, locate a volume that you want to delete by going to IBM Storage Volumes and selecting the required volume.
Right-click the volume and choose Delete.

The Delete Volume confirmation message is displayed.
Click OK to confirm the deletion, or Cancel to exit without deleting the volume.

Note: A volume, whose deletion fails, disappears from the volume list. The volume reappears in the list after the next population.
