Chapter 19. Troubleshooting issues in provider mode
19.1. Force deletion of storage in provider clusters
When a client cluster is deleted without performing the offboarding process to remove all the resources from the corresponding provider cluster, you need to perform force deletion of the corresponding storage consumer from the provider cluster. This helps to release the storage space that was claimed by the client.
Caution
It is recommended to use this method only in unavoidable situations such as accidental deletion of storage client clusters.
Prerequisites
- Access to the OpenShift Data Foundation storage cluster in provider mode.
Procedure
-
Click Storage
Storage Clients from the OpenShift console. Click the delete icon at the far right of the listed storage client cluster.
The delete icon is enabled only after 5 minutes of the last heartbeat of the cluster.
- Click Confirm.
