Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1099700"> </a><p class="pBody">
To decommission an existing host, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1099701"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the DCNM-SAN window, select <b class="cBold">Tools &gt; Host Provisioning</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1099702"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Select Host window appears.

</p>
<a name="wp1099703"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click the <b class="cBold">Decommission</b> radio button.
</li>
<a name="wp1099704"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">[...]</b> and select the host from the existing configurations or VSAN, or enter the WWN of a host that 
is not in VSAN.
</li>
<a name="wp1099705"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The device alias and DPVM state from all of the switches in the selected VSAN are populated if device 
alias with CFS and CFS DPVM are enabled and if the WWN is an eight-byte number. 

</p>
<a name="wp1096899"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <span style="font-weight: bold">Finish</span>. The device aliases are removed.
</li>
<a name="wp1099710"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Uncheck the <b class="cBold">Skip Zoning</b> check box.
</li>
<a name="wp1099711"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The WWN zone member is removed from all zones. If the zones without a WWN member become single 
member zones, these zones also are removed. 

</p>
<a name="wp1096957"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <span style="font-weight: bold">Finish</span>. If there is a local active zone set change due to the removal of zones, the appropriate zone 
set is activated.
</li>
<a name="wp1099716"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Uncheck the <b class="cBold">Skip DPVM</b> check box.
</li>
<a name="wp1096990"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <span style="font-weight: bold">Finish</span>. The DPVM entry is removed.
</li>
<a name="wp1099721"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Next</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1099722"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Decommission Zones window appears.

</p>
<a name="wp1099723"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Check the <b class="cBold">Remove Flow after Deactivation</b> check box.
</li>
<a name="wp1099724"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The flow entry associated with the host is removed when you click Finish.

</p>
<a name="wp1099725"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Finish</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1099726"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The device alias and DPVM entries are deleted, the zone is deactivated and deleted (if it has only one 
member after removing the host), and the flow is deleted depending on the check boxes you checked.
