Hi opedro77,

If the system is not in the production, and if there are no volumes associated with the FC drives, you may directly remove the FC drives from the system.

You may try to login to the array using the default credentials after rebooting.

Username: 3paradm

Password: 3pardata

Hope this helps.!

Hi Opedro77,

Even though, there are no volumes associated with the FCs, there might be admin volumes and hence used chunklets in those drives. Ensure that no CPG exists for FC tier PDs.

You can see the chunklet utilisation using 'showpd -c' commands. If any spare chunklets present, need to remove them using 'removespare' command as well.
Once all chunklets removed, you can use 'dismisspd' to remove the PD.
