After spending 3-months recovering from a Powervault crash (multiple disk and array) since everything was deduped, the suggestion was to move to Containers since the recovery would have been easier.
We realize that Directory Containers on V7 are mostly a "black hole" and we don't plan to start using them until we upgrade everything to V8. Since the failed PV has been repaired/rebuilt and was empty, we decided to get some experience with Containers and created one on it and a Directory to use the PV space. Used my desktop to backup to it and all was well. Now that we are done, we can't figure out how to get rid of the directory and container. I deleted all backups for the node and the node itself. I have been following these instructions ( https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.0?topic=commands-delete-stgpooldirectory-deleting-storage-pool-directory) but it still says: ANR3646E DELETE STGPOOLDIRECTORY: Storage pool directory /powervault_recover_pool has an access mode of DESTROYED and has active data.
