Removing Resources

To remove any particular resource from Active System Manager (ASM), perform the following steps:

1. In the left pane, click Resources.

2. On the Resources page, click the

All Resources tab.

3. From the list of resources, select one or more resources, and click Remove.

4. Click OK when the confirmation message is displayed.

If you a remove a Chassis, the Chassis and associated servers and I/O modules are removed from ASM.

The removal process shuts down the servers and erases identity information to prevent potential

corruption, and identity information returns to the associated pool. Associated targets (for example,

storage volume) are not affected.

NOTE: You cannot remove a chassis that is in any Pending state.

If you remove a server, the server state changes to Pending. The server powers off, ASM erases network

identity information from the server to prevent potential corruption, and network identity information

returns to the associated pool.

1. In the left pane, click Resources.

2. On the Resources page, click the All Resources tab.

3. From the list of resources, click a resource, and in the Details pane, click Run Inventory.

An inventory job is scheduled, the resource state changes to Pending. When the inventory is

complete, the resource state changes to Available. See ASM logs to view the start time and end time

of the resource inventory operation.
