6.9.10. Deleting an Oracle VM Server

When you delete an Oracle VM Server, it is removed from the Oracle VM Manager repository and becomes unmanaged. The Oracle VM Server is not stopped, nor is anything physically done to the Oracle VM Server.

Before you can delete an Oracle VM Server, you must stop any running virtual machines, or place the Oracle VM Server into maintenance mode to automatically migrate the running virtual machines. You must also remove the Oracle VM Server from the server pool.

To delete an Oracle VM Server and remove it from Oracle VM Manager:

  1. Stop or migrate any running virtual machines. To stop the virtual machines see Section 7.9.5, “Shutting Down a Virtual Machine”. To automatically migrate the virtual machines to other Oracle VM Servers in the server pool, place the Oracle VM Server into maintenance mode, see Section 6.9.9, “Placing an Oracle VM Server into Maintenance Mode”.

  2. Remove the Oracle VM Server from the server pool. See Section 6.8.2, “Removing an Oracle VM Server from a Server Pool” for information on removing Oracle VM Server from server pools.

  3. Select the Hardware view. Select the Hardware tab in the navigation pane, and select the Unassigned Servers folder. Select the Oracle VM Server and select Delete from the Actions menu.

  4. The Delete Confirmation dialog box is displayed. Click OK.

The Oracle VM Server is deleted from Oracle VM Manager.
