Delete devices from OpenManage Enterprise

The following steps describe how to delete and offboard the discovered devices in OpenManage Enterprise.

Prerequisites

  • To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based operational access to the devices. See, Role and scope-based access.
  • A device on which a profile is assigned cannot be deleted unless the profile is unassigned from it. For more information, see Unassign profiles.
  • A device can be deleted even when tasks are running on it. Any tasks initiated on a device fails if the device is deleted before the completion of the tasks.

Steps

  1. Go to the All Devices screen by clicking Devices.
  2. From the devices list, select the check boxes corresponding to the devices that you want to delete.
  3. Click the More Actions drop-down menu and click Delete Devices.
  4. At the prompt indicating that the devices will be deleted and offboarded from OpenManage Enterprise, click YES.

Results

The selected devices are entirely removed from OpenManage Enterprise. After device deletion, all onboarding information corresponding to the deleted devices is removed. The user credential information is automatically deleted if it is not shared with other devices. If OpenManage Enterprise was set as a trap destination on the device that is deleted, then you must remove OpenManage Enterprise console IP as a trap destination from the device.
NOTE: Deleted devices will be rediscovered when a discovery range is re-run at any time. To permanently remove devices and prevent them from discovery, Exclude devices from OpenManage Enterprise instead.
