Flashpool aggregate deletion doubt.

Hello community!

I have a storage pool that is providing cache to two flashpool agreggates (aggr01 and aggr02).

I need to delete a flashpool aggregate (aggr02). Will this have any impact on aggr01 ?

I assume it will free the allocation units aggr02 is using on the SP and have no impact on aggr01 - just want to be sure.

Thank you,

Pedro

Deleting aggr02 won't affect the overall storage pool. The flashpool partitions that were assigned to aggr02 will get returned to the pool.

Thank you SpindlNinja!

I can confirm that this doens't impact other aggregates that share the flashpool (on a FAS8020 running 9.4P2).

Regards!
