NOTES
Refer to "8.5 Check of Start of ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser Optimization Option Service/Daemon" to make sure that the service or daemon is started.
If not, the command terminates abnormally.
If a virtual volume (FTV) is present in the Tier pool, the Tier pool cannot be deleted. Delete the Tier pool after deleting the virtual volume (FTV) with the storageadm volume delete command.
If a Virtual Volume exists in a Tier pool, the Tier pool cannot be deleted. After deleting that VM guest that has the Virtual Volume, delete the Tier pool. For Virtual Volumes with an "Unknown" VVOL type, after deleting the Virtual Volume with the storageadm volume delete command, delete the Tier pool.
Tier pools that have configured a VVOL datastore or a Clone backup for VVOL datastores cannot be deleted. When this type of Tier pool needs to be deleted, delete the VVOL datastore or Clone backup for VVOL datastore, or delete the Tier pool from the VVOL datastore configuration or the Clone backup for VVOL datastore configuration.
When a Tier pool is deleted, the sub-pools configured to the Tier pool are deleted at the same time.
If this command is executed for Tier pools that are deleting a RAID group, the command terminates abnormally.
