Before deleting the external LU mapping, notice if any of the following are true:

Whether or not the execution of any application (for example, XP RAID Manager) that is using
the command device is in progress.

If any application using an external LU command device is executing, stop the application.

Whether the Disconnect Subsystem or Disconnect Volumes command was executed.

All data in cache memory must be written into the mapped external LU using the Disconnect
Subsystem or Disconnect Volume command. For more information about the Disconnect
Subsystem and Disconnect Volume commands, see

The volume is configured as part of an XP Continuous Access, XP Continuous Access Journal,
XP Business Copy, or XP Snapshot pair.

The volume is set as a pool-VOL.

If any of these conditions are true, you cannot delete the external LU mapping.
