[-r|--return-to-pool]
Arguments
Required arguments
[-d|--storage-volumes] path,
[path...]
* Specifies the storage volumes to unclaim.
Optional arguments
[-b|--batch-size] integer Specifies the maximum number of storage volumes to unclaim at once.
[-r|--return-to-pool]
Returns the storage capacity of each VIAS-based volume to the pool on the
corresponding storage-array.
* - argument is positional.
Description
Use the storage-volume unclaim command to return the specified storage volumes to the unclaimed state.
The target storage volume must not be in use.
NOTE: When you use the storage-volume unclaim command with VIAS based storage volumes, the command
removes the storage volumes from metro node and they are no longer visible. When you use the command with non VIAS
based storage volumes, the command marks the storage volumes as unclaimed. This is the intended behavior.
Unclaim a thin storage volume
When a storage volume is unclaimed, the thin-rebuild attribute is set to false.
NOTE:
The thin-rebuild attribute can only be modified for storage volumes that are either claimed or used. When the
unclaimed storage volume is claimed and its state is claimed or used, use the set command to modify the thin-rebuild
attribute.
Example
In the following example:
● The ll command in storage-volumes context displays storage volumes, including their use state,
● The storage-volume unclaim command unclaims two claimed volumes:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-2/storage-elements/storage-volumes> ll
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-2/storage-elements/storage-volumes> unclaim -d
