Chapter3 Managing ITP Networks Using SGM
Working with Nodes
Be aware of the following special situations:
•If you have not physically deleted a known node from your network, and you
delete it from SGM, SGM removes the node from the poll list, and at the next
poll SGM returns the node to the DEFAULT view, and labels the node as a
new node if you are using a custom view.
•If a node has at least one adjacent node in Active, Discovering, Waiting, or
Warnin g state, you cannot delete the node. If you try to do so, SGM cancels
the deletion.
If either of these situations occurs, do not delete the node again. Instead, perform
one of the following actions:
•Label the node Unmanaged. See the “Unmanaging and Managing a Node”
section on page 3-133 for more details.
•Remove the node from your view. See the “Working with Views” section on
page 3-26 for more details.
Note If you delete a node from the SGM database, the node is deleted for all SGM
clients and views connected to that SGM server.
To delete a node from the SGM database, use one of the following procedures:
•Select one or more nodes in a window, then select Edit > Delete from the
SGM Main Menu.
•Right-click a node in a window, then select Delete Item in the right-click
menu. (You cannot delete more than one node at a time from the right-click
menu.)
SGM asks you to confirm the deletion:
•Select Yes to delete the selected nodes. SGM deletes the nodes from the SGM
database.
•Select No to return to the window without deleting any nodes from the SGM
database.
You can also use the sgm delete node command to delete one or more nodes from
the SGM database. See the “SGM Commands and Descriptions” section on
page B-2 for more information on the use of this command.
