deleting disks from MSA1000 units





Hi alpha gurus,

I'm wondering if it is possible to take away a disk from a MS1000
(version 4.32) once it has been added to a unit by means of the command

EXPAND

I didn't find anything about deleting disks on the CLI manual, but it
seems to me it should exist a way to reduce the number of disks used in
a LUN.

It also seems to me there is no way to reduce the size of a LUN since
there is the command

EXTEND

but no way to "reduce" is documented in the manual.

I'm I right or (hopefully) MSA1000 CLI has some undocumented features?

Thanjk you very much from Italy,

Emanuele Lombardi
