For more information about how to delete FS pairs, see “Deleting Fast Snap pairs” (page 85) .
2. Delete the pools.
For more information about how to delete pools, see “Deleting pools” (page 130) .
3. (Optional) Erase data from the volume (volume shredding).
For more information about volume shredding, see the HP XP7 Volume Shredder for Open
and Mainframe Systems User Guide.
Deleting pools
You can delete pools that have a 0% usage rate and that are not assigned for THP-VOLs.
Deleting a pool blocks its pool-VOLs (LDEVs). To use blocked pool-VOLs, format the volumes.
NOTE: If the blocked pool-VOL is an external volume, format the external volume (see “Formatting
external volumes” (page 81) ).
Prerequisite: The pool is not used by an FS pair.
For more information about THP-VOL requirements, see the HP XP7 Provisioning for Open Systems
User Guide.
