Deleting or abandoning an S Series storage component

If the storage represented by an S Series storage component is not being used to store objects in any namespaces defined on the HCP system, you can safely delete that storage component.

To delete an S Series storage component:

1.Retire the storage component. For more information about retiring a storage component, see Retiring storage.

2.On the Storage Retirement page, click the retired S Series Node.

3.Click Delete Volume. If the node is not successfully retired, theDelete Volume button is inaccessible.

Abandoning an S Series storage component removes the associated S Series Node from the HCP system. This can be done regardless of whether data is tiered to the S Series Node. If you abandon an S Series Node without retiring its data, that data becomes inaccessible even if you add the S Series Node to the system again. As a general rule, you should retire and delete a component instead of abandoning it.

To abandon an S Series storage component:

1.Go to the Storage Components page.

2.Click an S Series Node.

3.On the Storage Node page that opens, click the Manage tab.

4.Click Abandon Component.

5.In the Confirm: Abandon Component window, type Yes in the text field.

6.Click Abandon.
