Content will be limited to a basic usage using the CLI or BUI interfaces
for deleting pools, and provide help with some usage failure scenarios
for this activity. Consider reviewing some of the following documents if you
are looking to perform actions beyond the scope of this document:

• Best Practices for the Sun StorEdge 6920 System, Version 3.0.1
• Sun StorEdge 6920 System CLI Quick Reference Guide, Release 3.0
•  <Document: 1009915.1> Troubleshooting Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920 Configuration Problems
• Sun StorEdge 6920 System Administration Guide For the Browser Interface Management Software, Release 3.0 for help with other object creation activities.

A. Validate if the Pool is in use

The pool should have a State of Not in Use. Reference <Document: 1007144.1> Validating Pool State and Details on a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920

• If the pool is in use, you must delete the volumes and vdisks before deleting the pool.

  Reference document <Document: 1013077.1> Validating Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920 VDisk Deletion
• If the pool is not in use, continue to Step B.

B. Basic Usage Using Browser or SSCS interfaces

SSCS

Pool deletion usage for sscs, can be reviewed in the Sun StorEdge 6920 System CLI Quick Reference Guide, Release 3.0. The sscs usage for basic pool deletion is as follows.

sscs delete pool <string[,string...]>

An example:

sscs delete pool joe-cli

This will delete the pool that is called joe-cli.

NOTE1: The Storage Domain is assumed to be DEFAULT when it is not specified by the -S switch in the usage

BUI

Pool Deletion steps for the BUI can be reviewed in Sun StorEdge 6920 System Administration Guide For the Browser Interface Management Software, Release 3.0 for help with other object deletion activities. Pool deletion for the BUI interface of the 6920 is completed as follows:

1. Click on the Configuration Services or Common Array Manager Link.
2. Click on the Pool Tab or Pool Menu Tree
3. Click on the Pool Name for the Pool Details Page
4. Click on the Delete Button
5. Click OK to confirm the deletion

At this point the Pop-Up window will disappear, and the main browser screen will refresh, and a success or failure message will be displayed in the Pool Summary page. The pool will no longer be listed.

• If you received a failure notification, continue to Step C.
• If you received a success notification, you have validated that pool deletion is complete.
