Decommissioning services provisioned by ASM
When a service provisioned by ASM is no longer required, it is important to decommission the resources.
Therefore, the resources can be provisioned for future services.
The steps to accomplish this task differ based on the type of resource component provisioned. For hosts
provisioned by ASM, the default behavior when a service is deleted is to turn off the host. For server,
additional cleanup is required after turning off the server. For storage provisioned by ASM, the default
behavior when a service is deleted is to retain the storage volume available to make sure no critical data is
deleted.
As a best practice, you need to perform the following tasks while decommissioning a service. Make sure
to perform these tasks to avoid issues in provisioning of future services due to conflicts.
Decommissioning Hyper-V based storage, host, and clusters
To decommission Hyper-V based storage, host, and clusters:
1. SCVMM clusters should be uninstalled through SCVMM.
2. SCVMM host groups should be deleted if no longer used.
3. Hyper-V hosts should be removed from SCVMM.
4. Hyper-V hosts should be removed from the domain.
5. Storage volumes should be set offline and deleted when the data is no longer used.
6. If required, remove ASM provisioned VLANs from the host facing ports of the switch.
7. Remove host entries from DNS server.
Decommissioning VMware based storage, host, and clusters
To decommission VMware based storage, host, and clusters:
1. Delete unused clusters from VMware vCenter.
2. Delete unused data centers from VMware vCenter.
3. Remove hosts from VMware vCenter.
4. Storage volumes should be set offline and deleted when the data is no longer used.
5. If required, remove ASM provisioned VLANs from the host facing ports of the switch.
Component types
The components (physical or virtual or applications) are the main building blocks of a template.
The following component types are defined in ASM:
