Removing domains from the topology database

When a domain is no longer required, use the domain_drop.pl script to remove it from the NCIM topology database. The entire topology for the domain is removed and any poll policies for that domain. The configuration information for the domain and the topology cache are not affected.

Procedure

  1. Stop the domain by running the itnm_stop command.
    For example, to remove the domain OLDDOMAIN:
    itnm_stop ncp -domain OLDDOMAIN
    To verify that the processes for the domain were stopped, run the itnm_status command.
  2. In $NCHOME/precision/scripts/perl/scripts, run the domain_drop.pl script.
    For example, to remove the domain that was stopped in the previous step:
    NCHOME/precision/bin/ncp_perl domain_drop.pl -domain OLDDOMAIN -password password
