How to Delete Host Sets

Deleting a host set is permanent and cannot be undone. Deleting a host set might also be time consuming.

You can remove unused host sets from the provisioning system. If you want to keep the host set but not view it, see How to Edit or Hide Host Sets.

You can also delete host sets by using the following command.

• hdb.hs.del – Deletes a host set.

For a detailed description of this command, see Chapter 7, hdb: CLI Commands for Managing Hosts, in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.1 Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.

Before You Begin

You cannot delete the host set if a user group has execute permission on the host set

You also cannot delete a host set that is referenced by one of the following objects.

• A comparison

• A notification rule

• A component

• A plug-in

  You can delete a host set that was created by a plug-in only by deleting the plug-in.

To delete a host set, you must belong to a user group that has Create, Edit, Delete permission on hosts.

   See How to View Host Sets.

2. At the bottom of the Details page, click Delete.

   You are asked to verify that you want to delete the host search.
