Deleting pools
You can delete pools that have a 0% usage rate and that are not assigned for
DP-VOLs.
Deleting a pool blocks its pool-VOLs (LDEVs). To use blocked pool-VOLs,
format the volumes.
Note: If the blocked pool-VOL is an external volume, select Normal Format
when formatting the volume.
For more information about DP-VOL requirements, see the Provisioning Guide
for your storage system.
Procedure
1. In the Explorer pane, click Storage Systems, expand the storage
system tree, and then click Pools.
2. In the Pools tab, from the list of pools, select the check box for the pool
that you want to delete, and then click More Actions > Delete Pools.
