Abandoning an S Series storage component

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.

Procedure

  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.
