Alternative method for deleting a disk group

The alternative method for deleting a disk group is to use the Destroy Dynamic Disk Group command. Because this command permanently removes the disk group and all its volumes, please use caution in implementing this command.

Note:

Microsoft Disk Management Disk Groups do not support the Destroy Dynamic Disk Group command.

Warning:

This command permanently removes all volumes and disks within the disk group.

To delete a dynamic disk group with the alternative method

  1. Right-click the storage object representing the server being managed (the computer icon at the top of the tree for the server being managed).
  2. Select Destroy Dynamic Disk Group from the context menu.
  3. Enter the name of the dynamic disk group you want to delete in the dialog box that appears.
  4. Click OK.

    A confirmation box appears asking if you want to destroy the disk group.

  5. Click Yes to delete the dynamic disk group or No to cancel the operation.

    After the dynamic disk group is destroyed, the disks revert to basic disks and become part of the Basic disk group.
