Unmounting non clustered file systems from hosts
The Management Server console lets you unmount a file system that has been mounted on a Storage Foundation volume in your data center. When you unmount a non-clustered file system from a host, you can optionally remove the entry of the selected file system from the file system table
You cannot unmount a file system if the file system:
-
Resides on a host that runs on Windows.
-
Has one or more checkpoints that have been mounted. For these types of file systems, you must first unmount the checkpoints before unmounting the file system from the host.
The console lets you unmount the following file systems from a host:
| Operating system for the host | Supported File Systems |
|---|---|
| Solaris | vxfs, ufs |
| Linux | vxfs, ext2, ext3, and ext4 |
| HP-UX | vxfs |
| AIX | vxfs |
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.

In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
