You can delete virtual images from the catalog.
Before you begin
When you delete a virtual image, any patterns that refer
to that virtual image are no longer deployable. You must clone these
patterns and link them to a new virtual image before they can be deployed.
To
complete this task, you must either have the Create new catalog content permission
and be granted all access to the virtual image
that you want to delete, or have the Workload resources administration role with full permissions.
About this task
You can use the console or the command line interface to complete this task. For the command line information, see the Related information section.
Procedure
- Click if you are in 2.3.3.0 (or if in 2.3.3.3).
- Select the virtual image to delete from the catalog. Details about the virtual image are displayed in
a slide-out pane.
If
the virtual image has multiple versions, expand the entry for the
virtual image, and then select the version that you want to delete.
- Click the Delete icon in the toolbar
and click OK.
Notes:
- If a virtual system instance that
is referencing that virtual image is running, the virtual image cannot
be deleted, and the Delete icon is disabled.
- You will be unable
to delete a virtual image if there is at least one extended or cloned
virtual image of the original virtual image, and the original virtual
image has a fix pack. If you want to delete the virtual image, capture
and export all extended and cloned virtual images you need, and then
delete all the cloned, extended, and captured virtual images.
What to do next
Clone any patterns that referenced the virtual image that
you removed. You must link these patterns to a new virtual image before
they can be deployed. For more information about cloning virtual system
patterns, see the Related tasks section.
