Removing a policy from a volume CLI ?

MAXWELL_CROOK — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:07:56 GMT

I recently assigned an export policy to a volume using the command:

volume modify -volume VOLUME_NAME -vserver VSERVER_NAME -policy EXPORT_POLICY_NAME

Does anyone know how to undo this action as the volume has been built on the wrong cluster.

I cannot find anything in the documentation on how to remove a policy from a volume or to remove a volume from a policy.

Is it a namespace command? Easy from the GUI but I dont want to use the GUI.

I've worked it out:

vol unmount -vserver VSERVER_NAME -volume VOLUME_NAME

Since every volume must have an export policy. As you can see, even if you haven't

specify the eport policy while you create a volume, ontap will select the default one for you.

So if you like to revert what you did.. just modify and assign the "default" export policy

the same way as you did.
