Delete host or host cluster
You can remove a host or host cluster so that volumes are no longer associated with that host.
Keep these guidelines in mind when you delete a host or a host cluster:
-
Any specific volume assignments are deleted, and the associated volumes are available for a new assignment.
-
If the host is part of a host cluster that has its own specific assignments, the host cluster is unaffected. However, if the host is part of a host cluster that does not have any other assignments, the host cluster and any other associated hosts or host port identifiers inherit any default assignments.
-
Any host port identifiers that were associated with the host become undefined.
-
From the Manage page, select the storage system with the host connection.
-
Select Provisioning > Configure Hosts.
The Configure Hosts page opens.
-
Select the host or host cluster that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
The confirmation dialog box appears.
-
Confirm that you want to perform the operation, and then click Delete.
If you deleted a host, the system performs the following actions:
-
Deletes the host and, if applicable, removes it from the host cluster.
-
Removes access to any assigned volumes.
-
Returns the associated volumes to an unassigned state.
-
Returns any host port identifiers associated with the host to an unassociated state. If you deleted a host cluster, the system performs the following actions:
-
Deletes the host cluster and its associated hosts (if any).
-
Removes access to any assigned volumes.
-
Returns the associated volumes to an unassigned state.
-
Returns any host port identifiers associated with the hosts to an unassociated state.
