Deleting a Link from the SGM Database
Typically, you delete a link in the SGM database for one of the following reasons:
•You have physically deleted the link from your network. This is the most
common reason for deleting a link from the SGM database.
•The link is Blocked, Failed, or Unknown, you are aware of the reason, and
you no longer want to see it in SGM displays. For example, the link might be
associated with a linkset that was removed from the network, or it might be a
previously discovered link associated with a test lab device.
If you have physically deleted a known link from your network, and you then
delete it from SGM, it is no longer in the SGM database, it does not appear in
SGM windows, and it is not discovered when you run Discovery.
If you have not physically deleted a known link from your network, and you delete
it from SGM, at the next poll SGM finds the link and adds it back to the SGM
database, setting the status appropriately. If this happens, do not delete the link
again. Instead, set it to Ignored. See the “Ignoring a Link” section on page3-235
for more information.
Note If you delete a link from the SGM database, the link is deleted for all SGM clients
and views connected to that SGM server.
To delete a link from the SGM database, use one of the following procedures:
•Select a link in the Link Details window (Figure3-37), then select Edit >
Delete from the SGM Main Menu.
•Right-click a link in the Link Details window, then select Delete Link from
the right-click menu.
SGM asks you to confirm the deletion.
•Select Yes to delete the selected link. SGM deletes the link from the SGM
database. However, if the link was not physically deleted from your network,
then at the next poll SGM finds the link and adds it back to the SGM database,
setting the status appropriately.
•Select No to return to the Link Details window without deleting the link from
the SGM database.
