Clearing data from a disk pool

If you never need to access the data in a disk pool again, you can choose to clear the disk pool. All data on the disk units in the disk pool is destroyed, but the disk units are still available for new data storage.

You need to restart your system to DST mode before clearing or deleting them. For directions on starting DST, refer to "How to Start Dedicated Service Tools (DST)" in Backup and Recovery.

To clear a disk pool, follow these steps:

  1. On the Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display, select Work with disk units.
  2. On the Work with Disk Units display, select Work with disk configuration.
  3. On the Work with Disk Configuration display, select Work with ASP configuration.
  4. On the Work with ASP Configuration display, select Delete ASP data.
  5. On the Select ASP to Delete Data From display, enter option 4 to select the ASPs that you want to clear the data from.
  6. On the Confirm Delete ASP Data display, press F10 to confirm your choice.
