Deleting Devices from RME
The devices in the Delete state cannot participate in any RME application flows. The Delete devices
historical data is not retained in the RME database.
However, you can re-add the devices using Resource Manager Essentials > Devices > Device
Management > RME Devices > Add Devices.
The device information is retained in the Device and Credential Repository. This information is not
removed till you delete the device from Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device
Management.
If RME is down when you delete devices from Device and Credential Repository, the devices get deleted
from RME when RME is back online.
You can also delete the RME devices using the command line tool,
cwcli inventory deletedevice. See Overview: cwcli inventory Command.
For NAM devices, the Supervisor device must be in RME. You cannot work with NAM devices if the
Supervisor device is not in RME.
Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required
privileges to perform this task.
To delete devices from RME:
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Devices > Device Management > RME Devices.
The RME devices dialog box appears.
Step 2 Select the RME devices. See Using RME Device Selector for further information.
A message appears, Are you sure you want to delete?
Step 3 Click OK.
The RME Devices window appears without the deleted device.
You can view the Deleted devices by navigating to Resource Manager Essentials > Devices > Device
Management > RME Devices > Add Devices as these devices still exist in Device and Credential
Repository.
