If the storage represented by an S Series Node storage component is not being used to store objects in any namespaces defined on the HCP system, you can safely delete that storage component.
To delete an S Series Node storage component:
1.Retire the storage component. For more information on retiring a storage component, see Retiring storage.
2.On the Storage►Retirement page, click on the retired S Series Node.
3.Click on the Delete Volume button. If the node is not successfully retired, this button is inaccessible.
Abandoning an HCP S Series Node storage component removes it from the HCP system. This can be done regardless of whether data is tiered to the S Series Node. If you abandon an S Series Node without retiring its data, that data becomes inaccessible even if you add re-add the S Series Node. It’s always recommended to retire and delete a component instead of abandoning it.
To abandon an HCP S Series storage component from the HCP system:
1.Go to the Storage►Components page.
2.Click on an S Series Node.
3.On the Storage►Node page that opens, click on the Manage tab.
4.Click on the Abandon Component button.
5.In the Confirm: Abandon Component window, type Yes in the text field.
6.Click on the Abandon button.
