Unallocating Storage LUSE – Confirmation
7.
Review the warning message and do one of the following:
CAUTION:
The delete LUSE operation is destructive. Read and observe the important warning on the
LUSE Confirmation panel.
•
To delete a LUSE volume, select the Yes, I have confirmed it check box, and then select the Delete
LUSE button only if it is acceptable to lose the data on the LUSE volume.
•
To retain the LUSE volume, select Keep LUSE, except for the StorageWorks XP512/XP48. For the
XP512/XP48, LUSE is deleted when the path is deleted. You cannot cancel the LUSE deletion for the
XP512/XP48.
You are notified when the unallocate storage operation is complete. LDEVs/LUs with no remaining paths
are now listed in the Open-Unallocated group of the storage subsystem.
8-6 Creating LUSE Devices
CAUTION:
The create LUSE device operation is destructive. Data stored on the LDEVs/LUs combined to
make the LUSE device will be lost. You should back up the data before creating LUSE devices.
The system administrator, storage administrator, local system administrator, and local storage administrator
can create LUSE devices on the StorageWorks XP Disk Array storage subsystems. Guest and local guest
users cannot create LUSE devices.
LUSE devices are created from unallocated LDEVs. Device Manager allows you to create LUSE devices in
several ways:
•
For the StorageWorks XP512/XP48, you can create a LUSE volume when allocating a volume path to an
LDEV in the Open-Unallocated group (see section
8-4
) and when adding storage to a storage group (see
section
7-6-2
). You cannot create a StorageWorks XP512/XP48 LUSE volume that does not have an
allocated volume path.
•
For the StorageWorks XP12000/XP10000 and XP1024/XP128, you can create a LUSE device that is not
added to a storage group and does not have an allocated volume path (see instructions in this section).
The XP512/XP48 does not allow this. You can also create a LUSE volume when allocating a volume path
to an LDEV in the Open-Unallocated group (see section
8-4
) or when adding storage to a storage group
(see section
7-6-2
).
