Removing DRD-VOLs

The following chart outlines the task flow for removing DRD-VOLs.

• Even if a DRD-VOL with Deduplication and Compression enabled is removed, duplicate data might be kept in the pool. The free pool capacity is not always increased.
• You can delete a DRD-VOL by using the Delete LDEVs window. The LDEV removal operation might take a few hours. You cannot cancel LDEV removal.
• With LDEV removal, even after the operation is complete, volume exists. The capacity saving status of volumes is changed to Deleting Volume, and the progress is displayed.
