Deleting a Network Storage volume

If you no longer need a volume on a Lumen® Network Storage node, you can delete it from Control Center. You can also view details for a volume or edit details for a volume. You need to delete all volumes on a node before you can delete the node.

Note: Before deleting a volume, be sure that any hosts using iSCSI volumes properly disconnect those volumes.

To delete a Network Storage volume:

  1. Click Services.

    Control Center shows the Services console. Use the console to access an inventory of your services, check the status of orders, and manage your services.

  1. In the Edge Services box, click Network Storage.

    Control Center shows a list of storage nodes for your organization (if any) with the name, location status, and total provisioned storage for each node.

  1. Select the Network Storage node you want to work with by doing one of the following:

    • Click the link in the Node Name column.

    • On the row for the node, click (in the Actions column), then click Details.

Control Center shows details for the node: location, volumes on the node (with a status for each), and the interface pool for each volume.

  1. On the row for the volume you want to delete, click (in the Actions column), then click Delete.
  1. In the confirmation window that appears, click Delete.

    Control Center changes the status of the volume to Deleting. Depending on details for the volume (e.g., size and activity), this process might take some time. Check the volume every few minutes until the process completes. Once the process completes, Control Center removes the volume from the list of volumes on the node.
