Using the Backend view Remove command
About this task
This topic explains how to remove a device using the Remove command in the
Backend view. This command completely removes the device from the system. This
procedure can only be used to remove a device providing storage. It cannot be used
for a device providing caching.
Removal operations that are waiting in the job queue are shown as Pending. If a job in
the queue is going to take a long time, and you do not want to wait, you can cancel the
operation using the Abort button in the Remove command window (if you left it
open), or using the Abort command from the Command menu.
NOTICE The Remove command deletes the specified objects from the system.
Use the Remove command with caution.
Procedure
1. In the Backend view, navigate to the desired device in the table, and select its
row.
2. Right-click the desired device and select the desired Remove command.
a. In the Remove Device dialog, for NVMe SSD devices that you want to
physically retain in the chassis, clear the Prepare Devices for Removal
option. For physical NVMe SSD device removal, leave this option selected.
b. In the Remove Device dialog, for NVMe SSD devices, it is recommended to
leave the Approve reconfigure SVM option selected.
A short window of Maintenance Mode may be initiated on the node during
the rebuild. If the node contains an MDM, it is preferable that the system is
running a 5-node MDM cluster.
c. For all device types, click OK.
In the confirmation window, click OK.The progress of the operation is
displayed at the bottom of the window. It is recommended to keep the
window open until the operation is completed, and until you can see the

window, which can be used if you decide to abort the operation. There is
also an Abort command accessible from the Command menu.
