Deleting a Storage Pool

This section describes how to delete a storage pool when it is no longer used.

Prerequisites

Before deleting a storage pool, ensure that namespaces in the storage pool have been deleted and services in the storage pool have been disabled. Before disabling any service:
  • Manually delete the subnet of the storage pool. For details, see Deleting a Subnet.
  • Uninstall the SmartIndexing service. For details, see SmartIndexing Feature Guide for File/Object/HDFS in the Feature Guide of the corresponding version.
  • Check whether the system is in upgrade mode. No service can be disabled in upgrade mode.
  • Disable per-second performance monitoring and delete the configuration information. For details, see Setting Per-Second Performance Monitoring for Converged Services.
To disable services:
  1. Log in to the CLI and run the following command to stop the service:
    delete converged_eds_service general storage_pool_id=Storage pool ID
  2. Run the following command to check whether the task is successfully stopped.
    show task info task_id=Task ID

    Storage pool ID can be obtained in Viewing Storage Pool Information, and Task ID can be obtained from the command output in 1.

Procedure

  1. Choose Resources > Resources > Storage Pool.
  2. Click More on the right of the desired storage pool and select Delete.
  3. Confirm your operation as prompted.
