Removing a DataPower appliance

You can use the administrative console to remove an appliance from the DataPower® appliance manager.

About this task

If you no longer want the DataPower appliance manager to manage one of you appliances, complete the following steps to remove that appliance from the DataPower appliance manager.

Avoid trouble: Do not remove a DataPower appliance from a managed set if it is the only appliance in that managed set, until you have added the replacement appliance to that managed set. Removing the last appliance from a managed set causes the managed set to be deleted, and all of the versions of the shareable settings and domains to be removed from the DataPower appliance manager. There is not any way for you to recover these removed versions.gotcha

Procedure

  1. In the administrative console, click Servers > DataPower > Appliances.
  2. Verify that the appliance that you want to remove is not part of a managed set.

    You cannot remove an appliance from the DataPower appliance manager if that appliance is part of a managed set. If the appliance that you want to remove has the value unmanaged in the Managed Set column, the appliance is not part of a managed set.

    If the name of a managed set is specified in the Managed Set column, you must remove the appliance from the managed set before you remove it from the DataPower appliance manager.
    • If the appliance that you want to remove from a managed set is the last appliance in that managed set, you must delete the managed set before you can remove the appliance from the DataPower appliance manager. When you delete the managed set, the appliance automatically becomes an unmanaged appliance and can be removed from the DataPower appliance manager.
    • If the appliance that you want to remove from a managed set is not the last appliance in that managed set, complete the following actions to remove the appliance from that managed set.
    1. Click Managed sets, and then click the name of the managed set that includes the appliance that you want to remove.
    2. Click Edit Membership, select the appliance that you want to remove from the DataPower appliance manager, and then click Remove.
    3. Click Save to save your changes.
  3. Select the appliance that you want to remove from the DataPower appliance manager.

    If you want to remove multiple appliances from the DataPower appliance manager, you can select all of the appliances that you want to remove.

  4. Click Remove.
