My predecessor implemented FreeNAS 11.0U4 on VMware. He built several pools using several vDisks.
One of these pools can now be decommissioned and I want to reclaim the vDisk. I carefully did the following:
My question is, can I use vSphere to remove the da2 disk while FreeNAS is running?
Many Thanks,
Janet
One of these pools can now be decommissioned and I want to reclaim the vDisk. I carefully did the following:
- Used "zpool status" to determine the underlying storage for the pool
useengnas# zpool status APMR-CDD
pool: APMR-CDD
state: ONLINE
scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0h34m with 0 errors on Sun Mar 1 00:34:03 2020
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
APMR-CDD ONLINE 0 0 0
gptid/5624bd20-d604-11e7-9d06-005056b6569a ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
- Used "gpart list" to match the pool to the storage device
useengnas# gpart list da2 | egrep -i "name|raw"
Geom name: da2
1. Name: da2p1
rawuuid: 56133a64-d604-11e7-9d06-005056b6569a
rawtype: 516e7cb5-6ecf-11d6-8ff8-00022d09712b
2. Name: da2p2
rawuuid: 5624bd20-d604-11e7-9d06-005056b6569a
rawtype: 516e7cba-6ecf-11d6-8ff8-00022d09712b
1. Name: da2
- Deleted SMB and NFS Shares from the zpool
- Deleted the volume
My question is, can I use vSphere to remove the da2 disk while FreeNAS is running?
Many Thanks,
Janet
