Deleting a storage virtual machine (SVM) - FSx for ONTAP

Deleting a storage virtual machine (SVM)

You can only delete an FSx for ONTAP SVM by using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS CLI, and API. Before you can delete an SVM, you must delete all non-root volumes attached to the SVM first.

Important

You cannot delete an SVM by using the NetApp ONTAP CLI or API.

Note

Before you delete a storage virtual machine, make sure that no applications are accessing the data in the SVM, and that you have deleted all non-root volumes attached to the SVM.

To delete a storage virtual machine (console)
