"Partition is not empty" error when trying to delete partition
Hi
Environment is 9.0.2
Error is this one:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH56329
Storage is Centera in Governance mode.
I have a vault store, dedicated database and partition which I want to delete. The data is test only. On the Centera side, there is a dedicated pool for this vault store.
Trying to delete the partition via the VAC results in: Unable to delete partition "Partition_Name". The partition is not empty.
What's the cleanest way to delete this? All the data is test only.
Can I simply delete the vault store database, which will then delete the partition as well? Sharing is not enabled on the vault store, but enable device level sharing is enabled on the partition. I would also like to delete the Centera data, but want to ensure that SIS on the Centera side is not messed up by doing this.
thanks
So basically you can't delete the partition because as the error says, there are items and data still in the vault store. You have to delete all archives or all items within that partition first and then you can delete the vault store.
When you delete the vault store, it will remove the database.
If you have archives that span Vault Store Partitions, then you would have to use Storage Expiry to remove all the old items for the partition to be deleted.But yeah, run the following query, it will tell you what Archives have savesets in that vault store, delete the archives, then you will have an empty partition, that will allow you to delete the vault store and the database will be removed
SELECT A.ArchiveName "Archive Name", COUNT(S.IdTransaction) "Archived Items" FROM EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.Archive A, EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.Root R EVVSYourVaultStore_01.dbo.ArchivePoint AP, EVVSYourVaultStore_01.dbo.Saveset S WHERE S.ArchivePointIdentity = AP.ArchivePointIdentity AND AP.ArchivePointId = R.VaultEntryId AND R.RootIdentity = A.RootIdentity GROUP BY A.ArchiveName ORDER BY A.ArchiveName
