Adding Removing devices from the domain

IBM

You can remove both discovered devices and manually added devices from the current domain so that they no longer appear in the topology map. This action does not delete the affected devices from the NCIM topology database.

You use the Remove Device Wizard to manually remove devices from the current domain. This removes the association of the device or devices with the current domain and prevents the device from being visualized in topology maps in the Network Hop View or Network Views for the current domain. However, the underlying device data is not removed from the NCIM topology database.

Note: You can also delete a manually added device from the NCIM topology database using the Topology Management > Delete Device option. This option is not available for discovered devices.

To launch the wizard, complete these steps.

1. Click Network Availability > Network Hop View to go to the Network Hop View, and display a topology map. The topology map displayed must contain at least one of the devices which you want to remove.
2. In the Network Hop View, select one or more devices to remove from the domain. Then right-click to display the context menu and click Topology Management > Remove Device from Domain from the context menu. The Remove DeviceWizard Device Selection window opens.
3. Complete the Device Selection window as follows.
