Deleting hosts

You can delete a host object from the Deleting Hosts panel.

A deletion fails if there are any virtual disk (VDisk)-to-host mappings for the host. If you attempt to delete the host and it fails due to the existence of VDisk mappings, you are presented with the opportunity to perform a forced deletion, which deletes the VDisk mappings before the host is deleted.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Perform the following steps to delete a host object:

Click Work with Hosts > Hosts in the portfolio. The Viewing Hosts panel is displayed.
Select the host to delete and select Delete a host from the task list. Click Go. The Deleting Hosts panel is displayed.
Verify that you are deleting the correct host and click OK.

When you delete a host object, all active ports are added to the Available Ports list.
