Deleting external LU mappings (Delete LU)
Although you can use the Delete LU command to delete the mapping between an internal XP LDEV and
external LU, you cannot reliably delete data in the external or internal XP LDEV using this command.
Before deleting the external LU mapping, execute the Disconnect Subsystem or Disconnect Volume
command. All data in the XP10000/XP12000 cache memory must be written to the mapped external LU
using one of these commands before deleting the LU. For detailed information about the Disconnect
Subsystem and Disconnect Volume commands, see ”
