Deleting a User Storage Group from the CA VM:Director Configuration

Deleting a user storage group from the CA VM:Director configuration for SFS removes that user storage group from administration by CA VM:Director; it does not delete it from SFS itself. If you delete a user storage group, you must make provisions for managing it outside CA VM:Director.

You can delete a user storage group from the CA VM:Director configuration for SFS only if there are no space allocations from it made through CA VM:Director.

If you need to delete a user storage group from a file pool, do the following:

1. From CMS, enter the following:

   vmdirect config sfs
   

   This command displays the SFS Configuration Menu.

2. Select option 2, Update User Storage Groups.
3. Using the Tab key, move the cursor over the name of the file pool that contains the user storage group to delete, and press Enter.

   This displays the list of user storage groups defined for this file pool.

4. Use the Tab key to move the cursor over the user storage group to delete, and press PF4.
   • If there are still allocations made through CA VM:Director for this user storage group, you are not allowed to delete it, and CA VM:Director displays a message telling you this. This screen remains displayed.
   • If this user storage group is available for deleting (it has no allocations in it through CA VM:Director), the following screen asks for confirmation so that you can back out of this request if necessary.
5. Enter yes on the confirmation screen if you want to remove this user storage group from CA VM:Director management.

   If you do not want to remove the user storage group from CA VM:Director management, enter no.

   When you press Enter to confirm or reject the deletion and that deletion is accepted, you are returned to the screen that displays all user storage groups for the current file pool.

6. You can do any of several things from this point:
   • To delete more user storage groups from this file pool, return to Step 4 and repeat the procedure from there.
   • To delete user storage groups from another file pool, press PF3 to return to Step 3 and repeat the procedure from there.
   • To return to CMS, press PF3 repeatedly.
