How to remove Unisphere Central ?

Hi,

We have set up an Unisphere Central to manage our VNX and CLARiiON SAN.

However, my supervisor doesn't like the idea and delete the VA.  Now, whenever we login Unisphere, we observe that the Unisphere Central still exists and seems to be no way to remove it.

Your advice is sought.

Sorry, there should be a 'domain' in the syntax. try this;

naviseccli -address < spaipaddress> domain -remove

So if your SPA ipaddress is 192.168.1.100 and your Unisphere Central IP Address was 192.168.1.150;

naviseccli -address 192.168.1.100 domain -remove 192.168.1.150

You may try to remove Unisphere Central from the domain using naviseccli;

naviseccli -remove

So if your spa address is 192.168.1.100 and your Unisphere Central IP address was 192.168.1.150;

naviseccli 192.168.1.100 -remove 192.168.1.150

Depending on your security you may need to add user, password  and scope for authentication.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

When I run the statement, it says that "Invalid switch: - remove"

Its alway good to have the command reference guide PDF downloaded from support.emc.com to check for the exact syntax

I have a similar issue. Unisphere Central was deleted before removing it. We are running a dual datamover NS120 (CX4-120 backend).

The IP addresses are listed below:

Control Station     192.168.2.128

SPA      192.168.2.129

SPB     192.168.2.130

Unisphere Central (deleted)     192.168.2.99

If you list the domain members, you don't see the Unisphere Central machine

C:\>naviseccli -address 192.168.2.129 domain  -list
Node:               a01emccs01
IP Address:           192.168.2.128
Name:                 a01emccs01
Port:                 80
Secure Port:          443
IP Address:           192.168.2.128

Port:                 80
Secure Port:          443

Node:                 APM00105201790
IP Address:           192.168.2.129(Master)
Name:                 a01-ns120-spa

IP Address:           192.168.2.130
Name:                 a01-ns120-spb
Port:                 80
Secure Port:          443

It is in Unisphere though.

I tried using the remove command, but receive the following:

C:\>naviseccli -address 192.168.2.129 domain -remove 192.168.2.99

WARNING: You are about to remove following node from the domain: 192.168.2.129

Proceed? (y/n) y

Domain remove operation failed. The directory entry not present for IP - 192.168.2.99

Any ideas?
