CAUTION: Deleting a virtual disk destroys all information including file systems and 
volumes residing on the virtual disk. You may receive a warning message if you attempt to 
delete the system or boot partition. However, this warning message is not generated 
always. Ensure that you do not delete the system or boot partition or other vital data when 
using this command.
Syntax omconfig storage vdisk action=deletevdisk controller=id vdisk=id, where 
id is the controller ID and virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport command.
NOTE: To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the controller 
IDs and then type omreport storage vdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the virtual 
disks attached to the controller.
NOTE: In some circumstances, you may receive a warning message if this command 
deletes the system or boot partition. You can override this warning by using the force=yes 
parameter. In this case, the syntax is as follows:
omconfig storage vdisk action=deletevdisk controller=id vdisk=id 
force=yes
Example to Delete virtual disk 4 on controller 1
Example 
omconfig storage vdisk action=deletevdisk controller=1 vdisk=4 
Omconfig reconfiguring virtual disks
Table 142. omconfig reconfiguring virtual disks
Description Reconfigure a virtual disk to change the virtual disk’s RAID level or increase its size by either adding 
physical disks or using the available free space. On some controllers, you can also remove physical 
disks.
NOTE: If you want to reconfigure with an extra physical disk, the physical disk must be of 
the supported bus protocol, media type, sector size, T10 Protection Information capability, 
and encryption capability.
Syntax
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=id vdisk=id 
raid=<c| r0| r1| r1c| r5| r6| r10> pdisk=<PDISK> [size=<size> 
vdcapacityexpansion=yes sizeinpercent=<1 to 100>], where id is the controller ID 
and virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport command.
NOTE: When you perform the virtual disk reconfiguration operation using the 
sizeinpercent/vdcapacityexpansion argument, Storage Management does not 
allow addition of physical disks to the existing reconfigured disk group. On successful 
operation, the virtual disk capacity is expanded, but the additional physical disk is not 
considered.
NOTE: To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the controller 
IDs and then type omreport storage vdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the virtual 
disks attached to the controller.
Example to Reconfigure virtual disk 4 to a size of 800 MB, use RAID-5 and physical disks 0 through 3 on 
connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the physical disks reside in enclosure 2.
Example for SCSI, SATA, 
and ATA controllers
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 
size=800m pdisk=0:0:0,0:1:1,0:2:0,0:3:2
Example for SAS 
controllers 
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 
pdisk=0:2:0,0:2:1,0:2:2,0:2:3
