Deleting a Cloud Target (BUI)

After a cloud target is no longer needed, delete it using Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance. Deleting a cloud target does not destroy its bucket nor the objects in your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account. Note that after a cloud target delete operation is started, it cannot be canceled.

If a snapshot is configured to use the cloud target, a warning is displayed. You can confirm your action to delete the cloud target or you can cancel the action and abort jobs submitted to the cloud target. For informational reasons, snapshots that have already been backed up will show the deleted cloud target as the backup target.

If a new cloud target is later created that points to the same location, it will have a new identification. Therefore, any cloud actions, such as backup and restore operations, will need to be recreated for the new cloud target.

  1. From the Configuration menu, select Services, then Cloud.
  2. Click the Targets tab.
  3. Hover over the cloud target to delete, and click its trash icon image showing the cloud target delete icon .
  4. Confirm your action by clicking OK.
