virsh pool-destroy pool

virsh pool-destroy stops (deactivates) a running storage pool. Despite the name, it does not delete the pool's data or its persistent configuration. The pool must be active for this command to succeed. After destroying a pool, it can be restarted with pool-start. To remove the configuration, use pool-undefine. To delete the underlying storage data, use pool-delete (the pool must be stopped first).
