Preparing to Removing Storage Elements from the Avid ISIS Engine
After you have identified the Storage Element you want to remove, you need to remove it from
the Storage Group before you physically remove the drive from the Engine.
c
You must finish the redistribution before you physically remove the Storage Element. If
you do not wait until the redistribution finishes, shared storage network clients might
receive multiple errors.
To physically remove a Storage Element from your shared storage network:
1. Remove the Storage Element from its Storage Group. For information on removing
Storage Elements, see “Removing ISIS Storage Elements from Storage Groups” on page 99.
2. Open the Workspaces tool by doing one of the following from the Management Console
home page:
t Click the Workspaces icon in the System section
t Click System > Workspaces in the pop-up navigation menu
The Workspaces tool opens.
3. Select the Workspace for the appropriate Storage Group.
4. Monitor the Status column for the progress of the redistribution operation. Click the Refresh
button until the redistribution finishes.
The Status column displays no status message when the process is complete.
c
Do not remove the Storage Element before the redistribution has completed.
