delete vdisks
Description Deletes specified vdisks. Unmaps and deletes all volumes and snapshots in the vdisks and
disassociates all disks assigned to the vdisks.
CAUTION: Deleting a vdisk will delete all data on that vdisk.
NOTE:
• You cannot delete a vdisk if it contains a snap pool that is associated with a master volume on
another vdisk.
• If you delete a quarantined vdisk and its missing disks are later found, the vdisk reappears as
quarantined or offline and you must delete it again (to clear those disks).
