Successfully unallocated volumes are placed in the Open-Unallocated folder of the storage system
they originated from. Unallocated volumes can be re-allocated to another host, with data intact.
Volumes can be deleted using the unallocate volumes dialog box and returned to unused capacity,
or previously un-allocated volumes can be deleted and returned to unused capacity as a separate

Note: It is recommended that volumes be unmounted from hosts prior to
unallocating the volumes.
The unallocate volumes dialog box works slightly differently depending
on where you launch the dialog box, for example:
If you select Unallocate Volumes from General Tasks, you will be
prompted to select a host. Selecting the host will display the host volumes.
Select one or more volumes and click Show Plan to display the fields
and options below.
If you select Unallocate Volumes by selecting a host row from the Hosts
panel, you will not be prompted to select a host. Host volumes are
displayed. Select one or more volumes and click Show Plan to display
the fields and options below.
If you click the host name to list host volumes, you can identify and select
volumes using details such as host group, or volume attribute (for
example, LUSE). Select volumes and click Unallocate Volumes to display
the fields and options below. In this case, Show Plan is not displayed
because the host volumes were known prior to launching the dialog box.
