The following is an example of how to delete a volume from a collection-target SMS storage group while metrics are being collected, and to then exclude the deleted volume from the collection target.

In this example, a volume that was deleted from the SMS storage group (SG002) of the storage system (SN: 53038) is excluded from the collection targets.

Deleting a volume from the SMS storage group
Placing the volumes belonging to the SMS storage group (SG002) online

Delete the disk configuration definition file (USER01.DSK.SN53038.LOCAL) for the storage system (SN: 53038) to update the disk configuration for the SMS storage group (SG002) from which the volume was deleted.
Execute the disk configuration acquisition program to re-create the disk configuration for the storage system (SN: 53038).
- Parameters input from the SYSIN:
```
PREFIX(USER01)
STORGRP(SG001,SG002)
DEVN(2000)
```
The disk configuration definition file (USER01.DSK.SN53038.LOCAL) is re-created.
Use the REFRESH command to update the metric collection environment.
```
F RS1,RE
```
Changes to the metric collection environment are applied from the next interval after metric collection for the current interval finishes.

Tip: Because the disk configuration definition file was re-created, information about the deleted volume will not be collected even if you do not change the settings of the metric collection parameters.
