Use this procedure to delete a disk from a selected file system.

Manage Disks screen (figure 65
) appears.
2 Select from the File Systems drop-down menu the file system that
contains the disk you want to delete.

the disk.
5 Click OK to proceed with the deletion. The Delete Disk status screen
appears.
Caution: When you add a new disk or stripe group to your SAN,
often an OS-dependent operation must be run to make the
added device recognizable by a host. Some of these
utilities can disrupt access to existing disks, causing access
hangs or failures. To avoid this, stop all file system
operations on the affected host before rescanning for the
new device.
Caution: Deleting a disk used in a stripe group results in a complete
loss of user data and requires re-making the file system.
For information on re-making the file system, refer to
Making or Unmaking a File System
on page 100.
