Delete a Partition

You can use the system host-disk-partition-delete command to delete a partition.

About this task

You can delete only the last partition on a disk. You cannot delete a partition that is in use by a physical volume.

The syntax for the command is:

system host-disk-partition-delete <host> <partition>

where:

<host>

is the host name or ID.

<partition>

is the partition device path or UUID.

For example, to delete a partition with the UUID 9f93c549-e26c-4d4c-af71-fb84e3fcae63 from compute-1, do the following.

~(keystone_admin)$ system host-disk-partition-delete compute-1 9f93c549-e26c-4d4c-af71-fb84e3fcae63

To view the progress of the deletion, use the system host-disk-partition-list command. The progress is shown in the status column.
