Deleting Vault Stores & Partition

[JuanAntonio]

Hi,

I have deleted 2 Vault Stores (one Partition each one) because I no longer need them. Previously I deleted all the archives inside (through the EV console) and the 2 File Systems targets related.

The 2 Vault Stores and their Partition are "Marked for deletion" since about 5 or 6 days ago. And they are never completed deleted. The Removal Status is "Inmediatly after archive". But no archiving is happening against them.

What can I do to complete the deletion?

Thanks in advanced.

Have you restarted the storage service?

Could you post the dtrace of "Storagedelete" process while restarting Storage service.

You should ideally delete all the archives before deleting the partition.

Edit  :Do you get any result when you run the following query 

USE vaultstoredbname
SELECT * FROM ArchivePoint

[JuanAntonio]

- The storage service was restarted. The server has been even restarted a couple of times.

- All the archives were deleted.

- The result of the query is: nothing. No ArchivePoints.

I'm attaching the dtrace log of the StorageDelete process.

Thanks.

Although I deleted all the archives for both Vault Stores, there are some remaining files (.CAB files) in one of the partition that where not properly deleted during the process. The other one is empty. I don't know if I can manually delete these files.

The Vault Stores pending to be removed are called Datos and HPLC.

It seems the HPLC vault store has an item.

[JuanAntonio]

What do you mean by "an item"? Whay can I do?

What about the other Vaul Store (Datos)?

Can I delete manually something in the DataBases?

[JuanAntonio]

Hello again. Any more help on this?

What about manually remove these VaultStores and Partitions directly in SQL Server?

Can I delete the corresponding rows in the VaultStoreEntry and PartitionEntry tables?

Any more tables involved?

Any documentation on this?

Thanks in advanced.

Well I would not recommend to make database changes yourself and would be good if you can get in touch wih Technical support for more help .
