January 19Jan 19 My problem:I have share that contains two disks. I want to remove the two disks from the server and put them into cold storage.I DO NOT want the data on the disks to remain on the server.I know that the rule is to delete all data on a disk before removing from a share. I can't do that because I want the data to be preserved offline. I don't have enough free space to copy it to another disk. I just want to remove the disks and have the Share disappear.How do I do that?Thanks.
January 19Jan 19 Community Expert Solution So the data that is on the disk you want to remove will remain on the removed disk?If that's the case, with the array stopped, click on TOOLS > New Config > preserve all slots and confirm you want to do this.Back on the MAIN page, set the slots of the disk(s) you want to remove to "unassigned", start the array in maintenance mode to make it permanent and then shut the system down to remove the disks. The data on those disks will remain.Once you reboot you will need to re-sync parity Edited January 19Jan 19 by MowMdown
