Dell Compellent question - enclosure decommissioning
Hello all, I'm not very familiar with Dell Compellent, we have 10 enclosures and need to reduce the footprint size of it, we are using only 20% of the total storage and wanted to decomission 5 enclosures out of the 9 we have. Any idea whats the safestt way to do it? GUI has no option to remove/decomission single enclosures.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards

Cypressman123,
In order to decommission the enclosures you would need to perform a factory reset. Now with a factory reset you would need a call into support so that we can capture the license & some other important data before hand. Support is the only ones who can reset the system as there are quite a few steps that have to be done correctly to ensure that all data is removed. So it would be my suggestion to call in to support, or you can certainly allow community input from anyone that has done it on their own to see if that helps.
Let me know if this helps.
