Storage Center OS Version 7 Command Utility Reference Guide

PDF

server delete

Description

Deletes a server from the Storage Center, along with the associated HBAs and volume mappings. The scope of deletion and protection depend on server type, as follows:
  • If the requested server is a virtual server, then only that virtual server is deleted.
  • If the requested server is a physical server, then that physical server and all virtual servers whose parent is that physical server are deleted.
  • If the requested server is a server cluster, and if any physical server identifies that cluster as a parent, then deletion is rejected. The –force option overrides this check and deletes the entire cluster and its constituent physical and virtual servers.
The command is rejected if:
  • Both server name and index are omitted. The command must identify the requested server either by –name or by –index.
  • Requested server is not found on the Storage Center.
  • Requested server is a cluster that still contains one or more physical servers and the –force option is omitted.

Format

server delete {–name
                                  string | –index 
                                 string} {options}

Options

–force

Specifies an optional flag to override the normal delete protection for a server cluster. If this flag is present, the cluster and every server (physical and virtual) in the cluster will be deleted. If the flag is omitted, a cluster will not be deleted if it contains a physical server. 

–h

Shows help for command options.

–index 
                                 integer

Specifies the server index.

–name
                                  string

Specifies the server name. Names that contain spaces must be enclosed in single quotes.

Examples

Delete a server and all mappings:

server delete -name 'server 1'

Force deletion of a cluster and all servers in the cluster:

server delete -name servercluster -force
