Deleting a File System

Note: If you want to delete an unmanaged file system that contains storage disks or deduplication-enabled storage disks, you will not be allowed to delete the file system until you first delete all of those sdisks or dedup sdisks.

1From the SNFS home page, choose File System from the Config menu. The Configure File System screen appears.

2Select the file system you want to delete, and click Delete.

If you are deleting a managed file system, you are warned that deleting this file system will delete all associated data and you will not be able to recover it. You are also warned that deleting this managed file system restarts the StorNext Storage Manager.

If you are deleting a non-managed system, you are warned that all files and directories in the file system will be permanently deleted. Click OK to Continue.

3Click OK to close the warning message window.

4After the Status screen informs you that the file system was successfully deleted, click Close.
