After you have finished migration, you have an external link to an old volume that you no longer need. Unvirtualizing volumes is cleaning up the environment after migration.

Note: You can skip this task if you specify Delete Source Volumes in the Volume Settings page of the Migrate Volumes wizard.

Unvirtualization deletes the external paths and logical devices created during the virtualization flow. It also deletes the external parity groups and the paths from the external parity group to the source storage system. Unvirtualization detaches the external volume, removes the zone, if applicable. It also deletes the external volume, external parity group and paths. Unvirtualization is required to restore the system back to its original state.

  1. To unvirtualize, select the external volumes in the details window for the storage system.
  2. Click the trash can. This also deletes the external parity groups and the paths from the external parity group to the source storage system.
