Deleting volumes
CAUTION: Deleting a volume removes its mappings and deletes its data.
To delete volumes
1. Verify that hosts are not accessing the volumes that you want to delete.
2. In the Configuration View panel, either:
•Right-click the system or Vdisks or a vdisk and then select Provisioning > Delete Volumes.
• Right-click a volume and select Provisioning > Delete Volume.
3. In the main panel, select the volumes to delete. To select or clear all volumes, toggle the checkbox in
the heading row.
4. Click Delete Volume(s).
5. Click Delete to continue; otherwise, click Cancel. If you clicked Delete, a processing dialog appears. As
volumes are deleted they are removed from the table and from the Configuration View panel. When
processing is complete a success dialog appears.
6. Click OK.
Changing a volume's default mapping
CAUTION: Volume mapping changes take effect immediately. Make changes that limit access to volumes
when the volumes are not in use. Be sure to unmount a mapped volume from a host system before
changing the mapping's LUN.
To change a volume's default mapping
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a volume and select Provisioning > Default Mapping. The
main panel shows the volume's default mapping settings.
2. Set the options:
•Select Map.
• LUN. Set the LUN that attached hosts can use to access the volume.
• Access. Select the access level that hosts will have to the volumes.
• In the enclosure view or list, select controller host ports through which attached hosts can access the
volume.
3. Click Apply. A message specifies whether the change succeeded or failed.
4. Click OK. Each mapping that uses the default settings is updated.
Changing a volume's explicit mappings
CAUTION: Volume mapping changes take effect immediately. Make changes that limit access to volumes
when the volumes are not in use. Be sure to unmount a mapped volume from a host system before
changing the mapping's LUN.
To view volume mappings
In the Configuration View panel, right-click a volume and select Provisioning > Explicit Mappings. The
main panel shows the following information about the volume's mappings:
• Type. Explicit or Default. Settings for an explicit mapping override the default mapping.
• Host ID. WWPN.
• Name. Host name.
• Ports. Controller host ports through which the host is mapped to the volume.
