How to delete Virtual Disk in Dell MD during operations? Answer is you can't, you've to wait for the operation to complete.

That sounds fair but not when you've waited several hours (if not days) for the operation to complete. Power cycle the MD storage still can't abort the operation. From the DellMD manager console, you've absolutely no idea to know when it would ever complete.

The next best news is that you can run a command utility "smcli.exe" to roughly gauge the progress. This is typically found under  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\MD Storage Manager\client" folder.

> smcli -n ArrayName -c "show virtualdisk [\"VirtualDiskinOperation\"] actionprogress";
