About this task
You can delete one or more devices from SupportAssist Enterprise, if you do not want to monitor a device or for other reasons.
NOTE:
Deleting a device only removes the device from the SupportAssist Enterprise user interface; it does not affect
the functionality of the device.
NOTE: Devices that are inventoried and added in SupportAssist Enterprise through an adapter cannot be deleted. Those
devices are deleted automatically from SupportAssist Enterprise when either the adapter is deleted or the devices are
removed from the systems management console.
Steps
1. Point to Devices and click View Devices.
The Devices page is displayed.
2. Select the devices that you want to delete.
3. Click Delete.
The Confirm Device Deletion window is displayed.
4. Click Yes.
The devices are deleted from the Devices page.
NOTE:
When a device is deleted, the system information collected from the device is not deleted until the purge
collections task deletes the collected system information. The purge collection task only deletes system information
collections that are 30 days or older and collections that are older than the last 5 collections over the last 30 days.
