Deleting the External Volume Mapping (Delete Volume Command)

You can start the operation of deleting the external volume mapping from the Volume Operation window. To delete the mapping of the external volume, click the Delete Volume command in the pop-up menu displayed in the Volume Operation window. Though you can delete the setting of mapping for an internal volume and an external volume using the Delete Volume command, you cannot delete data in the external volume. You cannot delete data in the internal volume either.

You can also delete the external volume mapping by using a spreadsheet. For more information about deleting the external volume mapping by using a spreadsheet, see “Deleting the External Volume Mapping (DeleteVolume Tag)” (page 115).

Check the following before deleting the external volume mapping.

•Whether the execution of any application (for example, RAID Manager) that is using the command device is in progress or not.

If the execution of any application that is using the command device is in progress, stop the application.

•Whether the Disconnect Subsystem command or the Disconnect Volume command is executed.

All the data in the cache memory must be written into the mapped external volume using the Disconnect Subsystem command or the Disconnect Volume command. For detailed information on the Disconnect Subsystem command and the Disconnect Volume command, see “Disconnecting External Storage System or Disconnecting External Volume” (page 91).

•Whether the volume is set as a volume that configures a LUSE volume.

When it is set as a volume that configures a LUSE volume, you cannot delete the external volume mapping.
