Unassigning Devices
SAN Manager LM lets you unassign devices from hosts and share groups without rebooting
hosts or storage systems.
• In any pane of SAN Manager LM’s main window, Right-click a device and choose
Unassign Device.
• With multiple devices selected, right-click a selected device and choose Unassign
Device.
• Right-click a host or share group and choose Unassign Devices. This will unassign all
of the devices that are assigned to that host or share group.
• To unassign all devices in a device group, right click the device group and choose
Unassign Device.
Note You cannot unassign a locked device or a device that is in use (volumes,
directories or files on the device are open on the host the device is assigned to).
If a device unassignment fails, close any open files and shut down any
application, explorer or shell window, command prompt, process, service or
driver that may be holding volumes, directories or files open; and then try the
device unassignment again.
For instructions on reassigning devices, see page 100.
