Deleting an encrypted volume
You can use the volume delete command to delete an encrypted volume.
Before you begin
You must be a cluster administrator to perform this task, or an
SVM administrator to whom the cluster administrator has delegated authority.The volume must be offline.
Delete an encrypted volume: volume delete -vserver SVM_name -volume volume_name
For complete command syntax, see the man page for the command.
Example
The following command deletes an encrypted volume named vol1 :
cluster1::> volume delete -vserver vs1 -volume vol1
Enter yes when you are prompted to confirm deletion.
The system deletes the encryption key for the volume after 24 hours.
Use volume delete with the -force true option to delete a volume and destroy the corresponding encryption key immediately. For more information, see the man page.
After you finish
You can use the volume recovery-queue command to recover a deleted volume during the retention period after issuing the volume delete command:volume recovery-queue SVM_name -volume volume_name
