HP OneView for VMware vCenter/Operations Manager/Log Insight manual Deleting an unassigned volume

Page 58

To delete a datastore:

1.Start the vSphere Client.

2.Use one of the following methods to specify a datastore to delete:

Right-click a datastore and select HP Insight Software→Delete Datastore.

Select a datastore in the inventory tree, click Storage Tools in the HP Management pane, and then click the Delete Datastore link.

Right-click a datastore in any Storage Module for vCenter table and select Delete Datastore. The Storage Module for vCenter prompts you to confirm the delete request.

3.Click Delete to confirm the request.

The Storage Module for vCenter removes the storage volumes from all hosts, deletes the volumes, and re-scans the hosts. When these tasks are complete, the deleted datastore is no longer displayed in the vSphere Client.

TIP: No manual data refresh is necessary. When a provisioning operation is complete, the Storage Module for vCenter data is refreshed automatically.

Deleting an unassigned volume

An unassigned volume is a volume that is not associated with a datastore or RDM. You can delete unassigned storage volumes that belong to arrays that support provisioning.

To delete an unassigned volume:

1.Start the vSphere Client.

2.Locate an unassigned volume in any Storage Module for vCenter table. For example, you could delete a volume from the Storage Disks for Host table. See Figure 32 (page 58).

Figure 32 Deleting a volume

3.Right-click the volume and select Delete Volume.

The Storage Module for vCenter prompts you to confirm the delete request.

4.Click Delete.

The Storage Module for vCenter removes the LUN presentation from all hosts, deletes the volume, and re-scans the hosts. When these tasks are complete, the deleted volume is no longer displayed in the vSphere Client.

TIP: No manual data refresh is necessary. When a provisioning operation is complete, the Storage Module for vCenter data is refreshed automatically.
