NOTICE:

If the volume is in use—for example, the volume is open in a browser window, the volume contains shares or

snapshots, or another application is using the volume—a message displays stating that the operation has failed and

that you need to use Array Manager. See "Advanced Disk and Volume Management" for more information. Ensure that

you delete all shares and persistent images on that volume. The administrator can use Array Manager to force the

deletion of the volume.
