Erasing a UPM
To re-partition a UPM disk with a standard partitioning utility, you need to erase the UPM.
Note You cannot erase the UPM on a device that contains an active database mirror
set device. To erase the UPM on a database device, first remove the device from
the database (page 125).
Erasing a UPM

click a device and choose Device Info in the shortcut menu.
2. Click the Edit Partitions button.
3. In the Device Partitions dialog box, click the Erase UPM Partition Map button.

4. Click Yes.
Since there are no longer any partitions, SAN Manager LM closes the Device Partitions
dialog box and returns to the Device Information dialog box.
5. Click OK to close the Device Information dialog box.
Note When you erase a device’s UPM, the device becomes a raw (unpartitioned)
device and the UPM icon badge is removed from the its icon in the main
window of the administration application.
