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 vSphere 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 is 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 in VMware vSphere from this product, delete all VM guests on the VM host to be deleted in advance.
In this product, even if an SNMP Trap 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 destination address of the device, its setting is deleted.
Execute the deletion of the device from Web Console. The disk storage system's copy sessions are not deleted.
When the device is removed from this product, the event notification settings for SNMP Traps that were changed when the device was registered return to the settings prior to the registration of the device. Refer to [Point] in "2.5 Monitoring Device Component Status" for details.
If the deleted device has been detected again by this software's automatic device detection it is 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.
