Parameters

Parameter

Description

allVirtualDisks

This parameter deletes all of the virtual disks on a disk
pool.

virtualDisk or virtualDisks

The name of the virtual disk that you want to delete. You
can enter more than one virtual disk name. Enclose the
virtual disk name in square brackets ([ ]). If the virtual disk
name has special characters, you also must enclose the
virtual disk name in double quotation marks (" ").

removeDiskGroup

Deleting the last virtual disk in a disk group does not
delete the disk group. You can have a standalone disk
group (minus any virtual disks). To remove the standalone
disk group, set this parameter to TRUE. To keep
standalone disk groups intact, set this parameter to
FALSE.

force

Use this parameter to force the immediate deletion of a
virtual disk even if the RAID controller modules are
performing other operations. To immediately force the
deletion of a virtual disk, set this parameter to TRUE. To
wait until the RAID controller modules have finished
performing other operations, do not use this parameter or
set this parameter to FALSE.

schedule

retainRepositoryMembers

When you delete a thin virtual disk, the associated
repository virtual disk is deleted by default. However,
when the retainRepositoryMembers is set to
TRUE, the repository virtual disk is retained. For normal
virtual disks, this parameter has no effect.

Notes

When you use the allVirtualDisks parameter, this command deletes virtual disks until all of the virtual disks are
removed or until an error is encountered. If an error is encountered, this command does not try to delete the remaining
virtual disks. Deleting virtual disks from different disk groups is possible. All of the disk groups that become empty are
deleted if you set the removeDiskGroup parameter to TRUE.
