It will not delete the primary copy in a different storage pool.

I need to delete a copy pool, but first I have to delete the copy pool volumes. When deleting primary storage pool volumes, one has to specify DISCARDDATA=YES, and this will also delete copies of the files in copy pool volumes. The manual does not leave one with the impression that deleting copy pool volumes will also delete the originals, but when you actually run the DELETE VOLUME command, the warning gives me the impression that it is also going to delete the files in the primary storage pool volumes. I just want to delete this copy pool (it is server2server, and I need to recover the space). Will DELETE VOLUME DISCARDDATA=YES on a copy pool volume delete primary storage volume data or leave it alone?
