How to Unmount a Stand-Alone, Non-archiving or Archiving File System

You must unmount a stand-alone, non-archiving file system or an archiving file system before performing certain operations such as growing the file system, deleting the file system, or upgrading hardware. Before you unmount an archiving file system, you must idle or stop any archiving operation that is in process.

To unmount a stand-alone, non-archiving file system or archiving file system:

  1. From the Manage Hosts menu or the Managed Hosts page, choose the name of the server on which the file system is located.

    The File Systems Summary page is displayed.

  2. Select the radio button next to the file system that you want to unmount.
  3. From the Operations menu, choose Unmount.

    A message box prompts you to confirm your choice.

  4. Click OK.

    The file system is redisplayed on the File Systems Summary page with the unmounted value displayed in its Disk Usage (Total) column.
