Unallocate volumes dialog box
Successfully unallocated volumes are placed in the Open-Unallocated folder of the storage system
from which they originated. Unallocated volumes can be reallocated to another host, with data intact.
Volumes can be deleted using this dialog box and returned to unused capacity if eligible, or previously
unallocated volumes can be reallocated to another host.
When you enter the minimum required information in this dialog box, the Show Plan button activates
to allow you to review the plan. Click the Back button to modify the plan to meet your requirements.
The following table describes the dialog box fields, subfields, and field groups. A field group is a

field groups by clicking the double-arrow symbol (>>).
As you enter information in a dialog box, if the information is incorrect, errors that include a description
of the problem appear at the top of the box.

Note: It is recommended that volumes be unmounted from hosts prior to
unallocating the volumes.
The unallocate volumes dialog box works slightly differently depending
on where you launch the dialog box, for example:
If you select Unallocate Volumes from General Tasks, you will be
prompted to select a host. Selecting the host will display the host volumes.
Select one or more volumes and click Show Plan to display the fields
and options below.
If you select Unallocate Volumes by selecting a host row from the Hosts
panel, you will not be prompted to select a host. Host volumes are
displayed. Select one or more volumes and click Show Plan to display
the fields and options below.
If you click the host name to list host volumes, you can identify and select
volumes using details such as host group, or volume attribute (for
example, LUSE). Select volumes and click Unallocate Volumes to display
the fields and options below. In this case, Show Plan is not displayed
because the host volumes were known prior to launching the dialog box.
- Host
For one or more volumes the volume id, storage system, volume type,
drive type, and host for each volume is displayed.
