Removing an EMC DD Boost repository
The process for removing an EMC® Data Domain® Boost (DD Boost™) repository is the same as removing any other repository type, except that you also have the option of removing the storage unit used by the repository. There is a hard limit on the number storage units that can be configured on a Data Domain device, which makes removing unused storage units an important maintenance effort.
To remove a DD Boost repository:
1 In the My Repositories pane, right-click the applicable EMC Data Domain Boost repository, and select Remove.The Remove Repository dialog box appears, showing the savepoints in the selected repository.
2 Select Delete all savepoints in this repository.
3 To delete the savepoints in a replicated repository, select Delete all savepoints in replication repository.
4 Click OK.
5The savepoints are deleted, along with the storage unit associated with the repository.
