Deleting or abandoning an HCP S Series Node storage component

If the storage represented by an S Series Node 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 Node storage component:

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

2.On the StorageRetirement page, click on the retired S Series Node.

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

Abandoning an HCP S Series Node storage component removes it 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 re-add the S Series Node. It’s always recommended to retire and delete a component instead of abandoning it.

To abandon an HCP S Series storage component from the HCP system:

1.Go to the StorageComponents page.

2.Click on an S Series Node.

3.On the StorageNode page that opens, click on the Manage tab.

4.Click on the Abandon Component button.

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

6.Click on the Abandon button.
