Delete a Domain

You might want to delete an domain in order to free up the resources that the domain uses. When a domain is deleted, the resources are returned to the resource pool.


Caution

Caution  -  If you delete an I/O domain, the deletion cannot be undone. This action deletes the domain and releases all resources used by that domain. Any software on the domain is lost.


If you are deleting a Database Domain, you must first delete the cluster nodes that are associated with the domain. See one of these procedures:


Caution  -  If the Database Domain or the Database Zone Domain contains zones, the zones are removed when you delete the domain. The zone's configuration information will also be removed from the assistant. You should remove the deleted zone's host and IP information from DNS.
