Cant delete a Disk Pool

Hello All I try to delete a Disk Pool (TEST_POOL) but I receive the following message: Unable to delete the disk pool invalid command parameter DSM has found that one or more volumes in the disk pool TEST_POOL(Brand)@MASTERSERVER has images fragments I do not find any images storage on that disk pool. Any Help?

    Run this:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdelete -allvolumes -force 

    its a safe command. It just deletes the fragments that are already expired:

    From man pages:

    The nbdelete command removes all deleted fragments from  the
         disk  volumes  that  are  specified on the command line. The
         -allvolumes option removes the fragments  from  all  volumes
         that   contain   deleted   fragments. 

    After this, try to delete the disk pool.

    Check if there are no backups on this diskpool.


    Reports > Disk Report > Image on disk

    If backup images are present, expire them

    Next check if there are any image fragments:


    nbstlutil list -U

    If there are fragments, run this command:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdelete -backup_id <image fragment name> -force

    then run this:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdelete -allvolumes -force 

    Try to delete the diskpool after that.

    hello, the final solution for me, after I restart the Appliance, I deleted the disk pool from the webui interface (storage >storage configuration>disk pools).
