Deleting devices other than the virtualization switch
This function cancels the registration of a device being managed by this software, thereby deleting that device from the range of management. It is used in such cases as when a device has been removed.
Information
Individual VM guests for VMware Infrastructure 3 Version 3.5 (or later) or VMware ESXi 3.5 (or later) can be deleted from the management target for this product by first deleting the VM guest using VMware management software and then deleting the VM guest using this procedure. If the VM guest is still on the VM host it will be registered again automatically.
Note
When VM hosts (VMware Infrastructure 3 Version 3.5 or later or VMware ESXi 3.5 or later) are deleted from this product, the VM guests on the VM host are automatically deleted.
Take one of the following actions:
Click the icon of the target device, and select [File] -[Delete] from the menu, or
Right-click the device icon to display a pop-up menu, and then select [Delete].
Note
When [View] - [Change] and [List View] is selected, device deletion cannot be performed from the resource view.
Clicking the <OK> button deletes the selected device.
If a dialog such as the one shown below opens, access path settings associated with the target device can be deleted. For example, when a server node is removed, the switch zoning setting and affinity setting for the device become unnecessary. This software can automatically delete such unnecessary security settings. When "Delete the access path" is selected in this dialog, all of the access path settings for the deleted device are deleted. If the access path settings must remain, such as if you want to continue to use the device while placing it outside the range of management, select "Do not change the access path".
The deleted device is displayed when it is detected again by the automatic device detection function of this software.
Deletion of a virtualization switch device
