disk remove

The disk remove command does not remove a disk containing unreplicated data unless forced. To force disk removal, specify -force with the value 1.

NOTE:

Only use the -force 1 option if you are sure that you do not need the data on the disk. This option removes the disk without regard to replication factor or other data protection mechanisms, and may result in permanent data loss.
Removing a disk in the storage pool that contains Container ID 1 will stop your cluster. Container ID 1 contains CLDB data for the master CLDB. Run disk remove without the -force 1 option first and examine the warning messages to make sure you aren't removing the disk with Container ID 1. If you try to remove a disk associated with the storage pool that contains Container ID 1, you will see an error message similar to the following:
```
ERROR (151) -  Failed operation for disk /dev/sdb, Operation may bring 
down cluster due to loss of cluster meta-data.
```
If necessary, run the following command for information on the disk associated with the storage pool that contains Container ID 1:
```
/opt/mapr/server/mrconfig info dumpcontainers  | grep cid:1
```
The command output may look similar to the following:
```
cid:1 volid:1 sp:SP1:/dev/sdb spid:82380c287085486f0058112ecf016b76

snapusageupdated:1 ismirror:0 isrwmirrorcapable:0 role:1 maxUniq:2100150 
isResyncSnapshot:0 snapId:0 port:5660
```
To safely remove such a disk, perform a CLDB Failover to make one of the other CLDB nodes the primary CLDB, then remove the disk as normal.

Output

Output Fields

Field	Description
