Delete a database

Independent disk pools are used to set up user databases on the system. There are three types of independent disk pools: primary, secondary, and user-defined file system (UDFS). Databases are set up using primary independent disk pools. Once the independent disk pool is created, it appears as another database under the Database function of System i Navigator.

If you no longer need a user database, you can remove it by deleting the independent disk pool associated with it.

  1. In System i Navigator, expand a system.

  5. Expand Disk Pools.
  6. Select the disk pools you want to delete.
  7. Right-click a highlighted disk pool and select Delete.
  8. Follow the instructions on the dialog that displays.
