NOTE:
Step-9 to Step-10 are for reclaiming UNUSED space from THIN LUN to the parent pool
NOTE: Storage Reclaim from a Server will delete all Data on the LUN which is being reclaimed.
2. LUN should be un-mounted from HOST/SERVER and make sure No IO operation are happening
on these LUNs.
3. List Down the storage group to which these luns are allocated
4. Remove the LUN from all Storage Group and FAST Storage GROUP. And Make sure LUN is not
being USED.
Symaccess –sid XXXX –name SERVER_SG remove dev AAAA -unmap
Symaccess –sid xxxx –name FAST_SG remove dev AAAA -unmap
5. After completion of above command. Make the Device in Not Ready State.
symdev -sid xxxx not_ready AAAA
7. Dissolve Meta LUN to disassociate meta members from Meta Head after UNBINDING the LUN
from POOL.
Symconfigure –sid xxxx –cmd “dissolve meta dev AAAA ;” –v preview
8. If require you can create Meta TDEVs which are freed up in above steps. But there is no harm in
keeping these TDEVs as thes can be re-used later for new allocations.
9. If you want to reclaim unused space to pool from a THIN LUN without losing data on that LUN
then follow below Procedure:
Symconfigure –sid xxxx –f “Reclaim.txt” –v preview
Reclaim.TXT Content is
Start free on tdev AAAA start_cyl=0 and end_cyl=last_cyl type =reclaim;
Or else
Symconfigure –sid xxxx –cmd “Start free on tdev AAAA start_cyl=0 and end_cyl=last_cyl type
=reclaim;” –v preview
Symconfigure –sid xxxx –f “Reclaim.txt” –v commit
10. To know the current reclaim status you can run below command.
Symcfg –sid xxxx show –thin –pool TIER3_SATA_POOL –detail –GB |FIND /I “Reclaim”
