PowerFlex Manager 3.x and 4.x: How To Remove A Network/VLAN From PowerFlex Manager

PowerFlex Manager will not allow the deletion of a network/VLAN while it is in use by a service/resource group or a template. 

It is assumed there are no servers or VMs currently using the network/VLAN being removed. 

1. From the PowerFlex Manager UI, remove (do not 'DELETE') any services/resource groups that reference the network/VLAN in question.
2. From the PowerFlex Manager UI, edit any existing templates to remove any references to the network/VLAN in question.
3. From the PowerFlex Manager UI, delete the network/VLAN.
4. Remove the VLAN configuration from the relevant upstream network switches following the switch vendor's best practices.
5. Remove the corresponding port-group from vCenter DVswitch if applicable.
6. From the PowerFlex Manager UI, run inventory against all relevant resources.
7. From the PowerFlex Manager UI, add the services/resource groups removed in step 1 back into PowerFlex Manager.
