Editing or creating the deallocation policy
Deallocation policies define the actions to be performed during the deallocation task,
such as rediscovering a host, unmapping devices from the front end of a storage array,
and dissolving metadevices.
A default Deallocation Policy is provided but the Administrator creates a new policy
using the Deallocation Policy Editor (Figure 161).
To access the Deallocation Policy Editor go to Storage Administration > Deallocation
Policies. Right click and select New > Deallocation Policy.
