Deleting an extensible storage location
You can delete only retired and empty storage locations. You cannot delete the primary storage location because it contains the extensible storage links to other storage locations.
Before you can delete an extensible storage location, you must retire it, move its data to other storage locations using the retire storage activity, and then remove it as the primary storage location by altering the Backup Root value in the dssys.cfg file and DS-System database. You can delete the storage location after restarting the DS-System. For more information, see
“Retiring the primary storage location”.
To delete a storage location:
1. On the Setup menu, point to Storage, and then click Extensible Storage.
2. Select the retired storage location that you want to delete, and then click Delete.
3. When the system prompts you to verify your selection, click Yes.
The Group value is changed to Deleted and the storage location is removed from the extensible storage locations list when the DS-System restarts.
NOTE: To reactivate this storage location, assign it to any other valid storage group other than Deleted in the Edit Storage Location dialog box.
