Before deleting a rack that has live traffic on it, you may want to take its devices
out-of-service by draining them. For information, see Drain Device Traffic.
-
To delete a rack from the blueprint, navigate to Staged >
Physical > Racks and click the Delete
button for the rack to delete (third of three buttons).
- If you will be adding a rack back into your system, leave the
Keep existing cabling in the fabric after
change box checked.
- If you will not be replacing the rack in your system, uncheck the
Keep existing cabling in the fabric after
change box. Otherwise, the intent will not match the
actual topology anymore, and you will encounter anomalies, such as for
cabling and BGP.
-
Click Delete Rack to stage the deletion and return to
the table view.
- Commit the changes to the blueprint. Configuration on any running devices will
be erased and the devices will be ready to be decommissioned.
