How to Delete a Zone Resource in the N1 Service Provisioning System

This procedure explains how to delete a non-global zone resource from the operating system and from the N1 Service Provisioning System.

If you want to delete a non-global zone resource from the N1 Service Provisioning System, but leave the non-global zone intact on the operating system, perform a markOnly uninstall of the Container component for the non-global zone.

Before You Begin

To delete a zone resource, you need to know the install path of the non-global zone resource that you want to delete from the operating system. You can view the install path by clicking the View All link in the Solaris Non-Global Zone as a Resource section of the SAP plug-in page.

Before you delete a non-global zone, you must first stop the zone. For more information, see How to Stop a Zone Resource in the N1 Service Provisioning System.

1. In the Common Tasks section in the browser interface, click SAP.

2. Click the Solaris Non-Global Zone as a Resource: Delete link.

   The Plan Details page is displayed.

3. Click Run.

   The Plan Details Run page is displayed.

4. In the Plan Parameters section of the page, specify the target host on which you want to delete the non-global zone.

   You can select an individual host, or all the members of a host set.

5. In the Plan Variables section, specify the install path of the non-global zone that you want to delete.

6. If necessary, modify the values in the Limits section.

7. Click Run Plan (Includes Preflight).

   The non-global zone is deleted from the operating system on the target host. The non-global zone host record is also deleted from the N1 Service Provisioning System.

Next Steps

If you are using the N1 Advanced Architecture to manage your zone hosts, you must manually delete the zone resource from your N1 AA environment after you delete the zone resource in the N1 Service Provisioning System.
