N1 Provisioning Server 3.1, Blades Edition, Control Center Management Guide

Deactivating a Farm

The Control Center enables you to deactivate a farm. When deactivated, the farm is completely decommissioned, thus freeing and clearing all resources for other uses. Only the associated design and history are retained and tracked as an inactive farm in the Control Center.

If the farm includes an Ethernet-connected device as represented by an Ethernet Port element connection in the Control Center Editor design, ensure that this device is disconnected manually as part of the deactivation. Otherwise, the device IP address could be reallocated to another user's new farm, thus presenting a security risk.
