There is a Deletable column with a yes or no value to indicate whether
the volume can be deleted. For example, volume conditions preventing

The volume is in use by another host

Volume Informa-

>> Plan Details

For one or more volumes the volume id, storage system, storage port,
port type, host port, LU number, host group, host mode, and 'other op-
tions' for each volume is displayed. This provides complete storage and
host LUN path information.

LUN Path Inform-
ation

If you select all volumes for a host group, a host group deletion option
is displayed. Deleting a host group is only done under very specific cir-
cumstances, such as the target server having been replaced with a new
server. Do not select this option unless you know the exact status of the
target server and the server volumes (data), and are confident this option
is appropriate.

Options

This default selection unallocates volumes only without deleting volume
data or the volume. Unallocated volumes can be re-allocated to another
host, for example a newer and faster server.

Only unallocate
volumes

A LUSE volume is created by aggregating (combining) multiple smaller
LDEVs into a larger volume that is allocated to a host. If one or more
LUSE volumes are selected, this option is activated and can be selected
to un-allocate LUSE volumes and release the component LDEVs of the
LUSE volume.

Release LUSE
volumes

For volumes where Plan Details > Volume Information indicates the
volume can be deleted (Deletable=yes), eligible volumes will be deleted
and returned to unused capacity. To delete a selected volume when un-
allocating volumes: select Delete Volumes, and click Submit.

Delete volumes

Select Delete Virtual Information from volumes to delete virtual id inform-
ation. This option should only be used by an administrator knowledge-
able about the status of migrated volumes with virtual id information.
