DELETE STGPOOL (Delete a storage pool)

Use this command to delete a storage pool. To delete a storage pool, you must first delete all volumes assigned to the storage pool.

You cannot delete a storage pool that is identified as the next storage pool for another storage pool. For more information on storage pool hierarchy, see the NEXTSTGPOOL parameter in the DEFINE STGPOOL command.

Important:

Do not delete a storage pool that is specified as a destination for a management class or copy group in the ACTIVE policy set. Client operations might fail as a result.
When deleting a copy storage pool that has been previously included in a primary storage-pool definition (specifically in the COPYSTGPOOLS list), you must remove the copy storage pool from the list prior to deletion. Otherwise, the DELETE STGPOOL command fails until all references to that copy pool have been removed. For each primary storage pool with a reference to the copy storage pool to be deleted, remove the reference by entering the UPDATE STGPOOL command with the COPYSTGPOOLS parameter with all previous copy storage pools except the copy storage pool to be deleted.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
