Removing Profiles

You can remove all user-defined profiles or a specified user-defined profile from memory and persistent storage by using the nwamcfg destroy -a command.

The syntax for the destroy command is as follows:

nwamcfg destroy object-type [ class ] object-name

Alternately, you can use the following command:

nwamcfg destroy -a

Example 3-6 Removing a Profile in Command-Line Mode

To remove all of the user-defined profiles on a system, type the following command:

$ nwamcfg destroy -a

Because at least one profile must be active on the system at all times, and to avoid in-use errors when removing user-defined profiles, make sure that you enable the Automatic NCP before using the destroy -a command.

To remove a specific profile on the system, for example the User NCP, type the following command:

$ nwamcfg destroy ncp User

The destroy command can also be used to remove NCUs from an existing NCP. In the following example, an IP NCU with the name net1 is removed from the User NCP.

$ nwamcfg "select ncp User; destroy ncu ip net1"

To confirm that a profile has been removed, use the list subcommand, as shown here:

$ nwamcfg
nwamcfg> select ncp User
nwamcfg:ncp:User> list
NCUs:
        phys    net1
nwamcfg> exit
Nothing to commit
$

Example 3-7 Interactively Removing a Profile

In the following example, an IP NCU named net2 is removed.

$ nwamcfg list
NCPs:
        Automatic
        User
Locations:
        Automatic
        NoNet
        Legacy
        test
        foo
$ nwamcfg
nwamcfg> select ncp User
nwamcfg:ncp:User> list
NCUs:
        phys    net2
        ip      net2
nwamcfg:ncp:User> destroy ncu ip net2
Destroyed ncu 'net2'
nwamcfg:ncp:User> list
NCUs:
        phys    net2
nwamcfg:ncp:User> end
nwamcfg> exit
Nothing to commit
