hello community,

i would like to know, how i can delete a vserver.

if i try to unmount the root volumen, i get this message : Error: command failed: Invalid operation. Reason: Cannot unmount Vserver namespace root volume "vsm_cifs_root".

can somebody give me an advice?

regards

jakob

first , offline all volumes associated with that vserver

eg: cluster::> vol offline -vserver testsvm -volume testroot

Then destroy those volumes

eg: cluster::> vol destroy -vserver testsvm -volume testroot

Now you can delete the SVM.

eg: cluster::> vserver delete -vserver testsvm
