Delete a universal share

You can delete a universal share from NetBackup storage.

Deleting a universal share also deletes all data in the share. This action is irreversible and may take some time if the amount of data is large. Any active data transfers are immediately terminated, any mounted shares are immediately removed and become inaccessible on the clients. Unmount the universal shares on the client before removing them.

To delete a universal share

  1. Unmount the universal share on all the clients.
  2. On the left, click Storage > Disk storage. Then click on the Universal shares tab.
  3. Select the universal share that you want to delete and click Delete > Delete.
