Delete NSX-T Manager Services

You can delete NSX-T Manager services from Security Director. Before deleting a service, you must ensure that the service is not deployed in VMware NSX-T Manager. If the service that you are trying to delete is already deployed in the VMware NSX-T Manager, you will see an error message. To delete the registered security service, you must first delete the deployed service.

To delete a NSX-T Manager service from Security Director:

  1. Select Security Director>Devices>NSX Managers.

    The NSX Managers page appears.

  2. Select the NSX-T Manager for which you want to delete the service definition, and in the Services column click View.

    The Services Definition page appears listing the registered security services.

  3. Select the service that you want to delete, right click and select Delete Service.

    If the selected service is already deployed in NSX-T Manager, an error message is shown to delete the registered security service.

    To delete the deployed service from the NSX-T Manager for North-South and East-West Traffic:

    1. Log in to the NSX-T Manager.

    2. Select System > Service Deployment.

    3. In the Deployment tab, select the deployed partner service that you want to delete.

      The corresponding service details are displayed.

    4. From the Actions list, select Delete.

      The delete deployment service confirmation page appears.

    5. Click DELETE to delete the deployed service.

      If the action is successful, the deployed service is deleted.

    6. Select Security > Network Introspection Settings > SERVICE CHAINS tab, select the service chain and choose Delete.

      Note:

      This step is applicable only if the firewall type is East-West.

    7. In the SERVICE PROFILES tab, select the service chain and choose Delete.

      Note:

      This step is applicable only if the firewall type is East-West.

    8. Go to Security Director and repeat the procedure from Step 1.

  4. If the selected service is not deployed in NSX-T Manager, Security Director deletes the service successfully.
