Use this command and parameters
|
delete an array and its associated logical drives
Back to the top
|
Base Command and Required Parameters
|
delete array [array number];
where:
[array number] = the sequence number of the array, enclosed in square braces.
|
Example
Back to the top
|
Command statement:
delete array [3];
Execution results:
- Array 3 and its associated logical drives are deleted.
- Any data on this array is lost.
|
|
delete a standard logical drive
Back to the top
|
Base Command and Required Parameters
|
delete logicalDrive[logicaldrivelabel];
where:
[logicaldrivelabel] = the logical drive user label, enclosed in square braces
Important: If the logical drive user label contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s), then enclose the label in double quotes. The square braces are required.
|
Example
Back to the top
|
Command Statement:
delete logicalDrive [Chevelle];
Execution Results:
- The logical drive named Chevelle is deleted.
- Any data on this logical drive is lost.
|
|
delete a FlashCopy logical drive
Back to the top
|
Base Command and Required Parameters
|
delete logicalDrive[logicaldrivelabel];
where:
[logicaldrivelabel] = the logical drive user label, enclosed in square braces
Important:
- This syntax is identical to the delete logical drive syntax. The storage management software and firmware determine whether the specified logical drive is a standard logical drive or a FlashCopy logical drive and execute the command appropriately for each case.
- If the logical drive user label contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s), then enclose the label in double quotes. The square braces are required.
|
Example
Back to the top
|
Command Statement:
delete logicalDrive [Chevelle-S1];
Execution Results:
- The FlashCopy logical drive named Chevelle-S1 is deleted.
- The repository logical drive associated with Chevelle-S1 is also deleted and any data on it is lost.
- The base logical drive associated with Chevelle-S1 is NOT deleted.

Base Command and Required Parameters to Delete a Host Group
|
delete hostGroup ["group label"];
where:
["group label"] = the name of the host group you wish to delete, enclosed in square braces
Important:
- If the group label contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s), then enclose the label in double quotes. The square braces are required.
- This command will also delete all host definitions that are part of this host group.
|
Base Command and Required Parameters to Delete a Host
Back to the top
|
delete host ["host label"];
where:
["host label"] = the name of the host you wish to delete, enclosed in square braces
Important:
- If the host label contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s), then enclose the label in double quotes. The square braces are required.
- This command will also delete all host port definitions that are associated with this host.
|
Base Command and Required Parameters to Delete a Host Port
Back to the top
|
delete hostPort ["port label"];
where:
["port label"] = the name of the host port you wish to delete, enclosed in square braces
Important: If the port label contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s), then enclose the label in double quotes. The square braces are required.
|
Examples
Back to the top
|
Command statement to delete a host group definition:
delete hostGroup ["Midwest Group"];
Execution result: The defined host group named "Midwest Group" is deleted and will no longer appear in the Subsystem Management Window Mappings View. All host definitions that were part of the host group are also deleted.
Command statement to delete a host definition:
delete host ["Kansas City"];
Execution result: The defined host named "Kansas City" is deleted and will no longer appear in the Subsystem Management Window Mappings View. All host port definitions associated with this host are also deleted.
Command statement to delete a host port definition:
delete hostPort ["Kansas City A-1"];
Execution result: The defined host port named "Kansas City A-1" is deleted and will no longer appear in the Subsystem Management Window Mappings View.

delete a logical drive-to-LUN mapping
Back to the top
|
Base Command and Required Parameters
|
delete mapping logicalDrive=<logicaldrivelabel>
where:
<logicaldrivelabel> = the logical drive user label for which you are deleting the mapping.
Important:
- You can use this command with either a standard or a FlashCopy logical drive.
- You must enclose the logicaldrivelabel in quotes if it contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s).
- You do not have to enclose the logicaldrivelabel in square braces when deleting a mapping.
|
|
Additional Parameters You Can Use
Back to the top
|
host or hostGroup=<host or hostGroup>;
where:
host or hostGroup = the defined name of the host or host group topological element for which you are deleting the mapping.
Important: If the host or host group label contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s), then enclose the label in double quotes.
Note:
If you do not use the host or host group optional parameter when deleting a mapping, the Default Host Group mapping to the specified logical drive, if it exists, will be deleted by default.
|
Example
Back to the top
|
Command statement:
delete mapping logicalDrive=Chevelle-S1 host=BackupServer;
Execution result:
The logical drive-to-LUN mapping granting host BackupServer access to FlashCopy logical drive Chevelle-S1 is deleted.
