Perform the following procedure to delete one or more systems from the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) database.

Deleting many systems at one time, from the database, results in a performance delay.

The central management server (CMS) cannot be deleted.

Clusters that contain cluster members cannot be deleted. To delete a cluster with its cluster members, you must first go to the system table view page by selecting the All Systems collection in the Systems and Events panel. Then, select the cluster along with all of its members and click [Delete].

To delete systems:

  1. On the system table view page, select one or more systems to delete from the HP SIM database by selecting them in the results display.

  2. Click [Delete]. A dialog box appears stating Are you sure you want to delete these systems?

  3. Click [OK] to delete the systems, or click [Cancel] to return to the system table view page without deleting the events.

Containers (for example, racks) must be empty before they can be deleted. Selecting a rack and all its contained systems works without error.

Some systems that host management proxies (such as the WMI Mapper Proxy or an SMI-S provider) cannot be removed until all dependant systems are also removed.
