HCI Cluster Storage Pool near capacity

Question

can anyone help with this?

Our storage pool is showing 2.24TB free from 23.8TB - how do we clean up space on this?

We have 4 virtual disks - 1 with 2.91TB free (CSV-04-HDD) - unsure on how to shrink this volume as when i try to change the storage size it says i can only increase it through Windows Admin Centre

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your post. Before you delete a volume, consider the following requirements:

• Ensure the volume you're deleting isn't actively used by Arc Kubernetes clusters or VMs to prevent data loss or system issues.
• Remove the associated workload and then delete the storage paths. For more information, see Delete a storage path.

From Windows Admin Center,

1. In Windows Admin Center, connect to a cluster, and then select Volumes from the Tools pane on the left.
2. On the Volumes page, select the Inventory tab, and then select the volume that you want to delete.
3. At the top of the volumes detail page, select Delete.
4. In the confirmations dialog, confirm that you want to delete the volume, and select Delete.
