Remove a Clustered Data ONTAP Volume
Goal
This
workflow will destroy a selected volume in the specified Storage Virtual
Machine. All dependent objects and associations that are required to
destroy this volume are also removed. This includes:
·
Splitting
all clones from the volume if present.
·
Waiting
for the clone-split operations to complete
·
Unmounting,
offlining, and destroying the selected volume.
The
workflow has an approval point and when executed will wait till an additional
approval is provided before starting the execution of the workflow.
User

The drop-down list identifies both the
name of the Cluster and its Primary IP Address
2)
Storage Virtual Machine (required) – The Storage Virtual Machine containing the
volume you would like to destroy
The drop-down list identifies all of the
Data Storage Virtual Machines in the selected Cluster
3)
Volume Name (required) – The name of the volume to destroy.
The drop-down list identifies the Name,
Total Size, Used Size, Volume Guarantees, and number of clones for each volume
in the selected Storage Virtual Machine
Result
The

the selected volume as a parent will be split off prior to the volume being
destroyed.
Error
Handling

An
error message may be displayed if there is an issue with splitting any clones
