Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID
(Optional) Specifies the storage image ID, which consists of manufacturer, type, and serial number. This flag is required if you do not specify a fully qualified ID for all extent pools; otherwise, it is optional.
-quiet
(Optional) Turns off the confirmation prompt for this command.
extentpool_ID . . . |
(Required) Specifies the IDs of one or more extent pools to be deleted. A fully qualified extent pool ID is accepted, which consists of 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-decimal digit number with no leading zeroes, prefixed with the letter P.
Note: All rank assignments must be removed before extent pool can be deleted.
To specify a range of extent pool IDs, separate the extent pool IDs with a hyphen.
You must separate multiple extent pool IDs or ranges of extent pool IDs with a blank space between each ID or range of IDs.
If you specify the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically supplied.
