HP XP Array Manager Software - Manual (Page 57)

• Shred associated volumes. Format the volumes if shredding is unavailable.
By automatically executing these options as an extension of removing a host, the process is simplified.
NOTE:
When removing storage resources related to a host, verify that there is not any related data remaining
on the volumes.
TIP:
If you are removing a host that was registered using Device Manager agent, uninstall the Device
Manager agent from the host, then remove the host using XP7 Command View AE.
