(Optional) Specifies the storage image ID, which includes manufacturer, type, and serial number. This parameter is required if you do not specify a fully qualified ID for all array IDs.

(Optional) Turns off the confirmation prompt for this command.
array_ID . . . | -
(Required) Specifies the array IDs that are to be deleted. Accepts a fully qualified array ID, which includes the storage image ID, or a shortened version without the storage image ID if the -dev parameter is specified. The shortened version is a four digit decimal number with no leading zeros, prefixed by the letter "A".
To specify a range of array IDs, separate the array IDs with a hyphen.
You must separate multiple array IDs or ranges of array IDs with a blank space between each ID or range of IDs.
If you specify the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically supplied.
Note: You cannot use the dash (-) while you are in the DS CLI interactive command mode.
