To delete V-VOLs:

2. Click Delete V-VOLs.
The Delete V-VOLs window is displayed.
3. Review the list of selected V-VOLs to be deleted and confirm the operation.

Deleting multiple V-VOLs
When there are multiple V-VOLs in a parity group on an XP24000/XP20000 storage system, CVS
is required to delete some of the V-VOLs in the group. If CVS has been uninstalled from the storage
system while multiple V-VOLs were created in a parity group, the delete operation will delete all of
the V-VOLs located in the same parity group.
