To use this command, you must first delete all storage pools that are assigned to the device class and, if necessary, cancel any database export or import processes that are using the device class.
You cannot delete the device class DISK, which is predefined at installation, but you can delete any device classes defined by the Tivoli® Storage Manager administrator.
To issue this command, you must have system privilege or unrestricted storage privilege.
