About unallocating volumes
You unallocate a volume to reuse it or take it offline.
Unallocating a volume deletes all paths that connect the volume to ports and hosts.
Prerequisites for unallocating volumes from hosts
Volume unallocation frees up volumes for reallocation to other systems needing these resources.
Before unallocating volumes, verify the following:
• The host and storage systems are registered in HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite
products.
• The IT administrator has unmounted the volumes you plan to unallocate.
In addition, determine:
• The host name
• The volume for unallocation
CAUTION:
When you unallocate a volume, the information stored on it is no longer accessible. To retain this
data, back this volume up before unallocating.
