HCP System Management Help


Deleting an extended storage pool

If the storage that’s represented by an extended storage pool is not currently being used to store objects in any namespaces defined on the HCP system, you can safely delete that storage pool.

If, however, the storage that’s represented by an extended storage pool is currently being used to store object data, you cannot delete that pool. Before you can delete a storage pool, you need to first remove the extended storage pool from all storage tiers that currently include that pool and then retire the storage pool by migrating all of the data off of it.

When you retire an extended storage pool, HCP migrates the data off of that pool and then deletes that pool from the system. For information on retiring an extended storage pool, see Retiring economy and extended storage pools, components, and volumes.

To delete an extended storage pool that’s not currently in use:

1.On the left side of the Storage page, click on the Pools tab.

2.The Pools pane opens, showing a list of storage pools that are currently defined on the HCP system. A delete control (  ) appears in the row for each unused storage pool.

3.Click on the delete control for any unused extended storage pool to delete it from the HCP system.
