Unlinking virtual storage

Unlink virtual storage to make it inaccessible to the integrated server.

Restrictions:
  1. For an integrated Windows server, see Virtual storage linking for integrated servers for information about when virtual storage can be dynamically unlinked while the server is active.
  2. You cannot dynamically unlink virtual storage from an active integrated VMware ESX server.
If you do not want to dynamically unlink the virtual storage for an integrated Windows server, or if the server is an integrated VMware ESX server, shut it down. See Stopping integrated servers.
