Delete service operation
When deleting a service, the Delete operation automatically deprovisions an existing infrastructure
and frees the resources for use in other services.
IMPORTANT: Deleting a service deprovisions all servers in the service, and deletes the association
of servers, disks, and networks with the service. Any users logged in to any server in the service
will be logged off.
To delete a service
1. Open the infrastructure orchestration console, self service portal, or organization administrator
portal
2. Select the Services or My Services tab
3. Select a service and click Delete
OR
4. Select a service and click Details or View Details
5. From the Actions or Server Actions list, select Delete service
When executing the operation, infrastructure orchestration:
•
Validates the request
•
Scrubs the boot and data disks
•
Powers off the servers
•
Deletes the virtual machine or server blade profile
•
Deallocates the servers (server blades and virtual machine hosts)
•
Deallocates the networks and IP addresses
•
Deallocates the boot and data disks
•
Executes custom actions
•
Sends notifications
When you delete a deactivated physical service, infrastructure orchestration converts it to a
“clean-me” server, so that all the resources (particularly disk) are available to be manually cleaned
up. IO is unable to clean the disk for a deactivated service, which requires booting to the deployment
service. IO does not automatically activate the server to erase the disks because the delete operation
cannot determine which server pool to use or which blade to activate on. Because it is not possible
to erase the disks of a deactivated service, the physical resources remain in place so that the
administrator can erase the disks and delete the logical server.
Importing an existing server as a service
Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration allows you to import an existing VMware ESX/ESXi or
Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine into a newly created IO service containing a single server group.
Importing a virtual machine as a service can be performed only by an infrastructure orchestration
Administrator.
NOTE: Deleting an IO service created from an imported virtual machine also deletes the underlying
virtual machine.
Before importing a server, check the networking configuration as follows.
•
Make sure that the IO network that corresponds to each network used by the existing virtual
machine has a static range that includes the existing virtual machine’s IP address.
•
If the virtual machine is using an address that you do not want as part of the static IP ranges,
create a DHCP range with at least one free IP address.
