Considerations for DELETE POOL
•
Before deleting a storage pool process from the system configuration database,
you must delete the virtual disks associated with the pool and reconfigure the
physical volumes.
•
The storage pool process you are deleting:
°
Must be stopped
°
Cannot contain any physical volumes
°
Cannot have any virtual disks associated with it
•
The storage pool catalogs must be available
•
TMF must be running.
•
The SMF master process ($ZSMS) must be started.
•
The CATALOGLOCATION volume for the MON process must be started, and it
must be enabled by TMF.
•
The CATALOGLOCATION volume for the storage pool process must be started,
and it must be enabled by TMF.
•
If, for any reason, the SMF master process does not give permission to delete the
storage pool process, you are prompted to continue deletion, even though this
might cause discrepancies in the SMF catalog.
