Deleting Service

To delete a service, perform the following steps:

1. In the left pane, click

Services.

2. On the Services page, click a service, and then in the right pane, click View Details.

3. On the

Service Details page, under Actions in the right pane, click Delete.

This action deletes the instance of the service and returns the IP/IQNs assigned to the servers that were a

part of the service. On performing this action, the Dell servers that were part of the deleted service are

rebooted, and the servers are set to PXE boot ready for the next deployment.

After deleting the service, to avoid issues in subsequent deployments, make sure that you complete the

following tasks manually:

• In case of non-Dell servers, you need to Power Off the servers, for the non-Dell server to be a part of

future deployments.

• Power On the servers and set the “next boot” to PXE, in case of non-Dell servers.

• Remove any storage volumes created during the service deployment. If the volumes are no longer

needed, remove the volumes from the Group Manager or Storage Center GUI.

• For EqualLogic storage created, remove the CHAP user created during the service deployment from

the EqualLogic Group Manager GUI.

• Remove the cluster created in VMware vCenter. If the cluster is no longer needed, remove the cluster

from the VMware vCenter GUI.

• In case of Hyper-V removal, perform one of the following methods to remove the created cluster

information from the Active Directory server and SCVMM server:

– (Preferred) Before deleting the service, remove the servers from your domain, and perform the

following tasks:

1. Log in to SCVMM server, set each Host in Maintenance Mode, and then remove the hosts

from the cluster.

2. Remove the hosts and cluster from SCVMM.

3. Log in to each Host and remove it from the AD Domain.

4. Delete the service in ASM.

– If you have already deleted the Service in ASM, perform the following tasks:

1. Log in to your SCVMM instance, set each Host to Maintenance Mode (error messages will be

displayed), and remove the cluster from the SCVMM instance.

2. Log in to the AD server and perform the following tasks:

a. Go to the

Active Directory Users and Computers, click <Domain>, and then click

Computers.
