A confirmation screen is displayed with two check boxes.
A Storage Resource can be in one of two states at the time of deletion form the HP Storage
Essentials SRM SAP ACC Application Integration Software.
• Mounted: If the resource is mounted and therefore presented to a host, the delete operation only
removes the configuration information from the local configuration files and removes the physical
devices from the reserved group. The physical devices remains presented to the current managed
node and the file system remains mounted on this host. In this case it is very easy to add the
resource back into the HP Storage Essentials SRM SAP ACC Integration software.
• Dismounted: If the Storage Resource is currently dismounted, and therefore not presented to any
managed node, but only available in the reserved group on the array, the removal process
removes the local definition of the resources as well as the presentation to the reserved group. In
this case, the physical devices are no longer presented to any port on the array, and it is
considered to be available to other applications. If the data on the devices is important to you,
first mount the resource on a managed node using the SAP ACC interface, before deleting the
resource.
IMPORTANT: Before selecting the check boxes on this page, you should understand the
implications and take responsibility for the physical devices and any data on these devices before
performing the delete operation.
