Remove Service	Remove a service that is no longer required. PowerFlex Manager supports two types of removal: Delete Service: Deletes the deployment information and makes any required configuration changes for components that are associated with the service. The configuration changes include making destructive changes such as unconfiguring the nodes in the service and powering them down. Remove Service: Removes deployment information but does not make any configuration changes to the deployed components.
Cancel	Cancel the service.
View All Settings	View the settings configured on the resources in a service for deployment. For a PowerFlex service, the VMware Cluster section of the Settings page shows the PowerFlex Settings section, and the Target PowerFlex Gateway should specify the gateway that is included with the service. For a PowerFlex service, the Use Local Storage For Dell EMC PowerFlex property is set to true within the OS Settings section for any node included. This property is set to true for the nodes in an existing PowerFlex service deployment, and for the nodes in a new PowerFlex service deployment.
