Removing a software management resource group

You can remove a software management node that is no longer required. PowerFlex Manager supports both the deletion and removal of a software management resource group.

About this task

You can choose to perform either of the following actions:
  • Delete the software management resource group, which deletes deployment information and also makes required configuration changes to remove the PowerFlex storage. If you choose the delete option, the PowerFlex packages that are installed during deployment, the PowerFlex repositories that are created during the deployment, and the http share certificates are removed. The operating system and networking are left intact.
  • Remove the software management resource group, which removes the deployment information for the software management resource group without making any configuration changes to the deployed components.
If the PowerFlex gateway used in the resource group is being updated on the Resources page. PowerFlex Manager also does not allow you to delete a resource group.

If the role you were assigned to at deployment time enables you to deploy resource groups, you can delete the resource groups that you deployed.
