Deallocating storage from a host
This example demonstrates how a storage administrator uses Ionix ControlCenter
Deallocation Wizard to deallocate, or remove, storage from a host.
In this scenario, the administrator allocated too much storage to Windows host
l82at124 and now deallocates 40 GB of storage from the host. The Deallocation
Wizard allows the administrator to remove the relationship between the host and
specified storage devices to which it has access (as long as the objects are connected
through Fibre Channel paths).
The administrator completes the following steps to deallocate storage:
◆ Determine the Amount of Free Space on the Host
◆ Determine the Host Devices to be Deallocated
◆ Start the Deallocation Wizard
◆ Create Deallocation Policies
◆ Select the Host
◆ Confirm the Objects and Select a Policy
◆ Select the Deallocation Paths
◆ Review and Execute the Task
