SSSU Command Reference
DELETE VDISK
Use the DELETE VDISK command to permanently remove the specified virtual disk. The virtual disk is no longer accessible, and all data is lost.
Caution: The DELETE VDISK command removes the entire virtual disk from the storage system. All customer data on the storage specified is destroyed when you run this command. In addition, all information about the LUNs presented from this virtual disk is lost as well.
The DELETE VDISK command will be rejected if presented. See
NO_SAFE_DELETE for behavior.
Syntax
DELETE VDISK <storage_name>
Switches
The following switches are available with the DELETE VDISK command.
WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION
Waits until the command’s operation completes before displaying the next SSSU prompt (and returning control) or before running another script line. For large (greater than 1 TB) virtual disks, using this option can result in a long period before the prompt displays.
NOWAIT_FOR_COMPLETION
Default. Returns control as soon as possible. Some operations are invalid until the initial operation completes in the background.
Examples
DELETE VDISK “\Virtual Disks\d12\ACTIVE” WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION DELETE VDISK “\Virtual Disks\daily_biz\wed_nite_biz”
The first example deletes ACTIVE and the virtual disk family d12.
WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION prevents the SSSU prompt from displaying until the virtual disk deletion is completed.
