Hello Sheila, If you want to just remove the host but keep the data then the steps that you stated are correct.  If you want to remove all the data on the MD3000i & not add a new host to the virtual disk then you will need to destroy the virtual disk on the MD3000i.   Let us know if you have any other questions.
I need to know the correct steps that should be followed to remove a host from this storage so it can be retired.  I have a general idea of what needs to be done but wondered if there was a certain order that things needed to be done in. My thought was to remove the host via the storage manager and then remove all the iscsi initiator software from the server. Is this all that needs to be done? Thanks in advance, Sheila
