Removing resources

Remove resources that you no longer want to monitor with IBM Spectrum® Control.

  1. In the menu bar, go to the type of resource that you want to remove.
    ResourceMenu bar
    Block storage systems Storage > Block Storage Systems
    File storage systems Storage > File Storage Systems
    Object storage systems Storage > Object Storage Systems
    Servers Servers > Servers
    Hypervisors Servers > Hypervisors
    Switches Network > Switches
    Fabrics Network > Fabrics
    Rollup subordinate servers Settings > Rollup Server Connections
  2. Right-click the resource and click Remove.
    Tips:
    • To remove rollup subordinate servers, click Actions > Remove Server.
    • To remove a Cisco fabric, you must remove all the switches in that fabric. The Cisco fabric is then automatically removed.
    • To remove a NetApp storage system configured for block storage, or configured for block storage and file storage, go to Storage > Block Storage Systems. If the NetApp storage system is configured only as a filer, then go to Storage > File Storage Systems.
  3. Click Remove to confirm that you want to remove the resource.
When you remove a resource, it is no longer monitored by IBM Spectrum Control. All the data that is associated with the resource, including historical data, is removed from the database. All the scheduled tasks and data collection jobs for the resource are canceled.
