Deleting a Host

By deleting a host, you remove the host from the provisioning system. If you want to keep the host but not view it, see How to Hide a Host.

When you delete a host, the provisioning system will also delete the following objects.

• All virtual hosts nested in the host.

• All component instances that were installed on the host.

  Note –

  If the component instances installed on the host were created from a resource that was originally collected from the host, the component is updated to remove the reference to the host.

You might want to delete a host in the following situations.

• You need to decommission a server that was registered with the provisioning system.

• You no longer want a record of the host.
