So, start with a SSH to the storage system. Verify that the disks on the cage(s) to be removed have only spare chunklets (you can type showpd -c)Īfter that, we can begin the process of Cage/Disk removal.Īs I mentioned before, be aware that this involves some risk and you must have some plan B like Backups outside the Storage.After all the migrations you can delete the old Volumes and CPGs.When using Adaptive Optimization (AO), change the AO-configuration to remove CPG that contains disks of cage to remove.

You need Dynamic Optimization license to tune VVs or Create new Volumes on the new CPG and if you use VMware/Hyper-V, you can Storage vMotion to the new disks

You must have free space on the remaining cages to accommodate all of you data.Do it after hours, this change it's very disk IOPS consuming.This operation takes some time (depending the size ans speed of the disks).If you have RemoteCopy in place with RCIP or RCFC, you should stop the replication.Let's first see the requirements for this operation. This process involve some risks but it can be done completely Online and without disruption.
