Ensure that you have saved any readable data that you want to preserve by issuing the MOVE DATA command. Moving all of the data that you want to preserve may require you to issue the MOVE DATA command several times.
Before you begin deleting all volumes that belong to the storage pool, change the access mode of the storage pool to unavailable so that no files can be written to or read from volumes in the storage pool.
See Deleting storage pool volumes that contain data for information about deleting volumes.
To determine whether this storage pool is referenced as the next storage pool within the storage hierarchy, query for storage pool information as described in Monitoring space available in a storage pool.
