Deleting Projects

You can delete a project and its container when both are no longer needed. Before deleting a project and its container, you must first remove the project from all the hosts with which it is associated. Deletion removes the container from the database, and the data previously collected for the project is no longer stored. Therefore, you cannot obtain any historical data for a deleted project as all data for the project is removed from the database. Being deleted is not considered a project state because the record and all historical data has been removed.

You cannot delete a project on the Solaris 8 OS unless all processes that are running in that project have been stopped.

When a project is deleted, the following happens depending on the Solaris version you are running:

Solaris 8 OS

The lnode is deleted, followed by the project.

Solaris 9 OS and Solaris 10 OS

Processes that are running in the project are moved to the default project, and the entry is deleted from the /etc/project database.
