Deleting a drive has no effect on the OAM configuration database. When you delete a drive, the definition for that drive is removed from the specified SCDS. When the SCDS is reactivated, the deleted drive is unavailable to the system. To delete a drive from the OAM configuration database, use the DB2I or SPUFI tools. Ensure that the other SCDSs that reference the deleted drive are updated; otherwise, OAM initialization will fail.
