Re: Move from Primary Pool Doesn't Remove from Copy Pool

< why not just delete the volumes in the copy storage pool you want to
get rid of?

Because the data isn't collocated.  If my customer was on 5.2 I could
collocate the specific node in question and then delete it, but I'm not
at that level.

Thanks anyway!

Once you are sure the data has all been copied to a new copy storage
pool, why not just delete the volumes in the copy storage pool you want
to get rid of? This shouldn't do anything to your primary pool, or your
new copy pool.
