Synology: How to Delete SAN Manager

Synology How to Delete SAN Manager

Have you happened to notice that you can’t delete the SAN Manager package from Synology Package Center? If, for one reason or another, you are not interested in the package and you want to have nothing to do with SAN Manager, today I will teach you how to permanently delete it from your NAS. Remember, even if you delete the SAN Manager package, if you change your mind, you can always easily reinstall it with just one click directly from Synology’s Package Center. What is SAN Manager? SAN Manager helps you to manage and monitor your iSCSI and Fibre Channel services easily. Both iSCSI and Fibre Channel are storage area network (SAN) services that provide access to consolidated and block-level data storage. Clients can access storage space over storage network as if the space were local disks.

Note: Some packages have a dependency on SAN Manager so, before uninstall it, make sure you don’t have other packages that depend on SAN Manager like “Virtual Machine”. In any case, you can reinstall it with just one click.
