Omconfig Delete Virtual Disk
Table 144. omconfig Delete Virtual Disk
Description Deletes a virtual disk.
CAUTION: Deleting a virtual disk destroys all information including file systems and
volumes residing on the virtual disk. You may receive a warning message if you
attempt to delete the system or boot partition. However, this warning message is
not generated always. Ensure that you do not delete the system or boot partition or
other vital data when using this command.
Syntax omconfig storage vdisk action=deletevdisk controller=id vdisk=id, where
id is the controller ID and virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport command.
NOTE: To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the
controller IDs and then type omreport storage vdisk controller=ID to display the
IDs for the virtual disks attached to the controller.
NOTE: In some circumstances, you may receive a warning message if this command deletes
the system or boot partition. You can override this warning by using the force=yes
parameter. In this case, the syntax is as follows:
omconfig storage vdisk action=deletevdisk controller=id
vdisk=id force=yes
Example to Delete virtual disk 4 on controller 1
Example
omconfig storage vdisk action=deletevdisk controller=1 vdisk=4
Omconfig reconfiguring virtual disks
Table 145. omconfig reconfiguring virtual disks
Description Reconfigure a virtual disk to change the virtual disks RAID level or increase its size by either
adding physical disks or using the available free space. On some controllers, you can also remove
physical disks.
NOTE: If you want to reconfigure with an extra physical disk, the physical disk must be of the
supported bus protocol, media type, sector size, T10 Protection Information capability, and
encryption capability.
Syntax
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=id vdisk=id
raid=<c| r0| r1| r1c| r5| r6| r10> pdisk=<PDISK> [size=<size>
vdcapacityexpansion=yes sizeinpercent=<1 to 100>], where id is the controller ID
and virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport command.
NOTE: When you perform the virtual disk reconfiguration operation using the
sizeinpercent/vdcapacityexpansion argument, Storage Management does not
allow addition of physical disks to the existing reconfigured disk group. On successful
operation, the virtual disk capacity is expanded, but the additional physical disk is not
considered.
NOTE: To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the
controller IDs and then type omreport storage vdisk controller=ID to display the
IDs for the virtual disks attached to the controller.
Example to Reconfigure virtual disk 4 to a size of 800 MB, use RAID-5 and physical disks 0 through 3 on
connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the physical disks reside in enclosure 2.
