Deleting Containers - Dell PowerVault Storage Area Network Administrator's Manual

The Edit Container dialog is displayed.
3. Modify the marker type options for the selected container as needed (containers support None, Auto, CommVault,
Networker, TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager), or ARCserve.
If you select the Auto marker type, this will enable all marker types to be detected. As a best practice, if you have
only one type of DMA with traffic directed to a container, it is best to select the corresponding marker type (for
example, CommVault). Conversely, as a best practice, if you have traffic from a DMA that is not one of the
supported marker types, it is best to disable marker detection for the container by selecting the None marker type.
4. Modify the connection type options for the selected container as needed (containers support None, NFS/CIFS, and
OST).
– If you want to modify an existing NFS/CIFS, NFS, or CIFS connection type container settings, see the NFS/
CIFS, NFS-only, and CIFS-only options available in
make the corresponding changes.
– If you want to modify the existing OST connection type container settings, see the options available in
Creating An OST Connection Type
– If you want to modify the existing unassigned (None) connection type container settings, see the options
available in Creating An Unassigned Connection Type
NOTE: If you select Open Access in the Client Access pane, the Add clients (IP or FQDN Hostname) and
Clients panes are hidden and you cannot create or modify these options.
NOTE: The DR Series system always commits writes to NVRAM first before committing any changes to disk.
NOTE: The DR Series system administrator that manages the DR Series system has a different set of privileges
than does the CIFS administrator user. Only the DR Series system administrator can change the password for
the CIFS administrator user. To change the password that allows access for the CIFS administrator user, use
the DR Series system CLI authenticate --set --user administrator command. For more information, see the
DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide .
5. Once the container type settings have been modified, click Modify this Container (or click Cancel to display the
Containers page).
The Successfully updated container dialog is displayed. The list of containers in the Containers summary table is
updated with the newly modified container.

Deleting Containers

Before deleting a container, Dell recommends that you first carefully consider whether or not you need to preserve the
data in the container. To delete an existing container that contains data, complete the following:
CAUTION: Before deleting any DR Series container that contains deduplicated data, Dell recommends that you
take steps to preserve this data using another means of long-term retention. Once a container is deleted, the
deduplicated data cannot be retrieved. This and later releases of the DR Series system allow you to delete any
specified container and all its contents in one operation.
