5.2.3 Deletion

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), VMware vSphere 4 (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

  • You cannot delete a server which has volume definition(s) of Backup management of AdvancedCopy Manager or Replication Group definition(s) of Replication management of AdvancedCopy Manager. You should delete the volume definition(s) of Backup management of AdvancedCopy Manager or Replication Group definition(s) of Replication management of AdvancedCopy Manager before the server deletion.

  • To delete a VM host (VMware Infrastructure 3 Version 3.5 or later, VMware vSphere 4 or later, or VMware ESXi 3.5 or later) from this product, delete all VM guests on the VM host to be deleted in advance.

  • In this product, even if a SNMP Trap send destination address is not automatically set, when deleting a target device, if the IP address of the Management Server is set to the SNMP Trap send destination address of the device, its setting is deleted.

Execute the deletion of the device from the Web Console. The disk storage system's copy sessions are not deleted.

If the deleted device has been detected again by this software's automatic device detection it will be re-displayed.

It is also possible to delete only the access path existing between the Managed Server and the device that is the target for deletion.

Note

When you delete a server, delete all the access paths connected the server in advance, and then execute the deletion of the server.
