To delete a linkset from the SGM database, use one of the following procedures:
•Select one or more linksets in a window, then select Edit > Delete from the
SGM Main Menu.
•Right-click a linkset in a window, then select Delete in the right-click menu.
(You cannot delete more than one linkset at a time from the right-click menu.)
SGM asks you to confirm the deletion:
•Select Yes to delete the selected linksets. SGM deletes the linksets and all
associated links from the SGM database. However, if the linksets were not
physically deleted from your network, then at the next poll SGM finds the
linksets and their associated links and adds them back to the SGM database,
setting the status appropriately.
•Select No to return to the window without deleting any linksets or links from
the SGM database.
You can also use the sgm delete linkset command to delete one or more linksets
from the SGM database. See the “sgm delete” section on pageC-24 for more
information on the use of this command.
Ignoring a Linkset
You can instruct SGM to ignore a linkset when it aggregates and displays network
data. Setting linksets to Ignored prevents known linkset problems from affecting
SGM displays for associated objects. In effect, you are preventing a known
problem from distracting you from other, more urgent network problems.
For example, you can set a linkset to Ignored before shutting down the linkset for
maintenance.
Note If you set a linkset to Ignored, the linkset is ignored for all SGM clients and views
connected to that SGM server.
Also, if you set a linkset to Ignored, make a note of the change, and do not forget
to reset the linkset when the problem is corrected or the maintenance is complete.
