Undeploying virtual servers

Before you begin

• Ensure the IBM Hyper Protect Virtual Servers CLI is ready for use. For more information, see Setting up the environment by using the setup script.

Procedure

On your x86 or Linux on IBM Z/LinuxONE (i.e., s390x architecture) management server, complete the following steps with root user authority.

1. You can use the configuration yaml file $HOME/hpvs/config/yaml/vs_hpvsopbasessh.yml that you used for creating the virtual server instance. The following is an example of the vs_hpvsopbasessh.yml file.

   version: v1
   type: virtualserver
   virtualservers:
   - name: test-hpvsopbasessh
     host: SSC_LPAR_NAME
     hostname: hpvsopbasessh-container
     repoid: HpvsopBaseSSH
     imagetag: 1.2.7.5
     imagefile: HpvsopBaseSSH.tar.gz
     resourcedefinition:
        ref: small
     environment:
      - key: LOGTARGET
        value: "/dev/console"
      - key: ROOTFS_LOCK
        value: "y"
      - key: SSH_PUBLIC_KEY
        value: "@/root/hpvs/config/hpvsopbasessh/keys/id_rsa.pub"
     networks:
      - ref:  external_network
        ipaddress: 10.20.4.12
     volumes:
      - name: qg_hpvsopbasessh
        ref : np-small
        mounts:
         - mount_id: new_qg_hpvsopbasessh
           mountpoint: /newroot
           filesystem: ext4
           size: 10GB
      - name: qg_passthrough
        ref: p-small
        mounts:
         - mountpoint: /qg_passthrough
   

   Note: The configuration yaml file should specify either the imagefile parameter, or the reporegfile parameter, but not both. For more information about the configurations for a Hyper Protect Virtual Server instance, see Virtual server configuration file.

2. You can use the hpvs vs list command to view the list of virtual servers. You can undeploy only those virtual servers (and the resources associated with the virtual server) that were created by using the hpvs deploy command, from this list.

3. Run the following command to undeploy the virtual server.

   hpvs undeploy --config $HOME/hpvs/config/yaml/vs_hpvsopbasessh.yml
   

   A message is displayed stating that virtual server(s) and associated networks, storage, images, and repository will be deleted. You are prompted to enter either Yes or No. If you enter Yes, the command execution continues, otherwise it exits the command execution.
   When you have a large number of virtual servers to undeploy, you can use the following flags to simplify the undeploy operation.

   • --exclude: To exclude virtual servers from the undeploy operation. You can specify a single virtual server, or a comma separated list of virtual servers.
   • --include: To include the virtual servers from the undeploy operation. You can specify a single virtual server, or a comma separated list of virtual servers.
   • If you do not use the --exclude or --include flag, all virtual servers that are listed in the configuration yaml file are undeployed. The --exclude or --include flags are mutually exclusive and you must specify only one of them when you run the hpvs undeploy command.

4. You can run the following commands to verify if the resources associated with the virtual server or virtual servers are deleted.

   • hpvs image list command to verify if the images associated with the virtual server(s) are deleted.
   • hpvs network list command to verify if the networks associated with the virtual server(s) are deleted.
   • hpvs quotagroup list command to verify if the quotagroups associated with the virtual server(s) are deleted.
   • hpvs repository list command to verify if the repositories associated with the virtual server(s) are deleted.

   Note: The resources that are shared by other virtual servers are not deleted and an appropriate message is displayed.
