Removing virtual volumes from a storage view
About this task
Before deleting virtual volumes from a storage view, note the following:
● Removing a virtual volume that is actively receiving I/O causes data to be unavailable to the volume.
● Removing a virtual volume from a storage view does not erase the data on the virtual volume.
● After deleting a volume, you can add it to another view if wanted.
CAUTION: If a storage view is active, deleting a virtual volume causes the data on the virtual volume to be
unavailable to applications that may be trying to access the virtual volume. Before deleting a virtual volume,
ensure that no initiators are accessing the data on the virtual volume.
