Task #4 - Delete the volumes

1) Unmount the previously created filesystems:

# umount /mnt/slessnap

# umount /mnt/sles1

2) Logoff the iSCSI target volumes, using the complete ‘iqn’ strings for your targets:

# iscsiadm -m node -T <iqn-sles1> -p 10.10.5.7 --logout

Logging out of session [sid: 1, target: iqn.2001-

Note: The ‘logout all’ method could also be used. The following command will

logout the server from all target volumes on the PS Series array with the group IP of

10.10.5.7

# iscsiadm -m node -p 10.10.5.7 -–logoutall=all

3) Use the Group Manager GUI to take the volume ‘offline’ and delete the volume

(sles1). This will also delete it’s snapshot (sles1-date-timestamp):

 Select the volume (sles1)

 Volume -> Set offline

 Volume -> Delete volume

4) Be sure to remove the appropriate mount entry line from /etc/fstab or the server

will attempt to mount the missing volume’s filesystem at reboot:

/dev/sdc /mnt/slesl ext3 _netdev,defaults 0 0

Task #5 - Configure multipath I/O and verify
