Purging an SME Cluster

Purging an SME cluster includes the following steps:

• Delete all cluster elements (tape paths, tape devices, volume groups, tape groups, and switches).

• Delete (unbind) any SME interfaces that are configured in the cluster.

• Change the cluster state to deactivated.

• Purge the cluster to remove the cluster and the master keys from the Cisco KMC.

Restrictions

• You can only purge a cluster that is in the deactivated state.

Detailed Steps

To purge an SME cluster, follow these steps:

1. Click Clusters in the navigation pane to display the SME clusters.
