HP XP Array Manager Software - Manual (Page 44)

NOTE:
If a host name is changed, both of the host names (before and after the change) might be displayed
on the Resource tab. In this case, delete the host before making the change. When copy pairs are
managed by the host where Device Manager agent is installed, in addition to deleting the host, the
storage system also needs to be updated.

About removing hosts and releasing associated resources
When hosts no longer need to be managed, for example due to a reorganization, you can remove
the registered hosts and exclude them from Command View AE Suite management. Related storage
resources, such as volumes allocated to the target host and path setting information, can also be
removed. Only storage resources allocated to the removed host can be released.
When removing storage resources, you can select to:
• Unallocate volumes
• Delete associated host groups
• Release LUSE volumes
• Delete virtual LDEV ID. This applies when managing resources that have virtual IDs set.
• Delete associated volumes
• 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 Command View AE Suite.
