Chapter8 Working with Linksets
Deleting a Linkset
When you redefine the linkset (that is, when you define a linkset with the same
destination point code as the original linkset, but not necessarily with the same
linkset name), SGM rediscovers the linkset and labels it with the appropriate
status (such as Active).
Deleting a Linkset from the SGM Database
Typically, you delete a linkset in the SGM database for one of the following
reasons:
•You have physically deleted the linkset from your network. This is the most
common reason for deleting a linkset from the SGM database.
•The linkset is Unknown or Unavailable, you are aware of the reason, and you
no longer want to see it in SGM displays. For example, the linkset might be
associated with a node that was removed from the network, or it might be a
previously discovered linkset associated with a test lab device.
If you have physically deleted a known linkset 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 linkset from your network, and you
delete it from SGM, SGM also automatically deletes all associated links from the
SGM database. However, at the next poll SGM finds the linkset and associated
links and adds them back to the SGM database, setting the status appropriately. If
this happens, do not delete the linkset again. Instead, set it to Ignored. See the
“Ignoring a Linkset” section on page8-56 for more information.
Note If you delete a linkset from the SGM database, the linkset is deleted for all SGM
clients and views connected to that SGM server.
If you delete all linksets to an Unmanaged node, SGM does not automatically
delete the node. Instead, you must manually delete the node. See the “Deleting a
Node” section on page 6-100 for more information.
