Delete or force delete a server profile
You can delete a server profile that you no longer need while associated with a powered on server hardware. After you delete the server profile, the server hardware is available for another server profile. Network connectivity is lost on the server if the profile had a network configuration in it.
If you are having connectivity issues with a server profile or if a remove action fails for a server profile, you can forcibly delete it from the appliance.
Before deleting a profile with local storage settings, back up any important data.
Deleting a server profile that defines non-permanent volumes will result in those volumes being deleted from the storage system. Consider obtaining a backup of the data on nonpermanent volumes before deleting the profile.
Deleting a server profile with SAN volumes attached can fail if there are communication issues with the storage system. In such cases, retry deleting the profile or clean up the volumes and related objects from the storage system device manager and forcibly delete the profile.
