Deleting external volume mappings
You can begin deleting the external volume mapping. Though you can delete the setting of mapping
for an internal volume and an external volume using the Delete External Volumes command, you
cannot delete data in the external volume. You cannot delete data in the internal virtual volume,
either.
You can also delete the external volume mapping by using a spreadsheet (see HP P9000
Spreadsheet Guide).
