Below Steps for Storage Reclamation from Vmax.  Step 1: Verify the Masking View Information. The Masking would give us the information about the current Storage Group(SG), Initiator Group(IG) and Port Group(PG) # Symaccess -sid XXX list view The above syntax will list all the Masking View and identify the one you are working it on.  Step 2: View the Details of the Specific Masking # Symaccess –sid XXX show view XXXXXXXX_MV  Step 3: Unmask and unmap the Devices. With Autoprovisioing Groups, this is simply matter of deleting the Masking View and the Devices will be unmapped and unmasked automatically. The following is an example if the command. Caution #symaccess –sid XXX delete view d1oraclust_MV  Step 4: Delete the Storage Group #symaccess –sid XXX delete –name XXXXXXXX_SG -type storage -force  Step5 Delete the Initiator Group #symaccess –sid XXX delete –name XXXXXXXX_IG -type initiator -force  Step6: Delete the Port Group #symaccess –sid xxx delete –name XXXXXXXX_PG -type port -force   Step 7: Unbind the Devices from the thin Pool. This step will make sure that we unbind the devices those are reclaimed from the host.   #symconfigure –f unbinddevice.cmd –preview #symconfigure –f unbinddevice.cmd –prepare #symconfigure –f unbinddevice.cmd –commit   Step8: Dissolve the Meta Devices It is advised and to follow to delete the met devices once these freed up. The Intention behind is to have no discrepancy in the data of one server to be presented to other host by reusing the Devices in any form. # symconfigure –f metadissolve.cmd preview # symconfigure –f metadissolve.cmd prepare # symconfigure –f metadissolve.cmd commit    [URL]
