HSG80 Array Controller V8.7 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
CLI Command Descriptions
Deletes a specified container belonging to the controller configuration.
IMPORTANT: A container cannot be deleted if the container is in use by a higher-level
container. For example, a disk belonging to a member of a RAIDset, or a RAIDset unit, cannot
be deleted. To delete a member of one of these storagesets, the higher-level container or
containers must be deleted first.
Also, to delete a unit that belongs to a remote copy set, the remote copy set must be deleted
first. (One exception to this rule: a remote (target) member of a remote copy set can be deleted
from the copy set.)
NOTE: This command does not delete failedsets or sparesets. See page 2–64 and page 2–66
for details.
When a storageset is deleted, the individual disks are free to be used by another
container. If you create the container again with the exact same disk configuration, and
none of the disks have been used for anything or initialized, then the container can be
reassembled using its original disks.
