This command deletes one or more standard logical drives, flashcopy logical drives, or flashcopy repository logical drives.
Attention:
Possible damage to the storage subsystem configuration – All of the data in the logical drive is lost as soon as you run this command.
delete (allLogicalDrives | logicalDrive [logicalDriveName] | logicalDrives [logicalDriveName1 ... logicalDriveNameN]) removeArray=(TRUE | FALSE)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
allLogicalDrives | This parameter deletes all of the logical drives in a storage subsystem. |
logicalDrive or logicalDrives | The name of the logical drive that you want to delete. You can enter more than one logical drive name. Enclose the logical drive name in square brackets ([ ]). If the logical drive name has special characters, you also must enclose the logical drive name in double quotation marks (“ ”). |
removeArray | Deleting the last logical drive in an array does not delete the array. You can have a stand-alone array (minus any logical drives). To remove the stand-alone array, set this parameter to TRUE. To keep stand-alone arrays intact, set this parameter to FALSE. |
When you use the allLogicalDrives parameter, this command deletes logical drives until all of the logical drives are removed or until an error is encountered. If an error is encountered, this command does not try to delete the remaining logical drives. Deleting logical drives from different arrays is possible. All of the arrays that become empty are deleted if you set the removeArray parameter to TRUE.
If you want to delete an entire array, you can also use the delete array command.
