Deleting a DFS management context also deletes the VLDB services on its replica sites. This action could break DFS junctions that point to NSS volumes managed by this DFS management context.
For example, if a management context exists beneath another context, it functions independently of the one above it. If the lower-level management context is removed, its volumes are added to the VLDB of the management context above it. However, if the higher-level management context is removed, its volumes are not covered because they are outside the lower-level management context and would no longer be mapped in any VLDBs. Junctions would not be able to locate the destination volumes after the context is deleted, and the junction would be broken until a new DFS management context is put in place that includes those destination volumes.
In iManager, select the role to expand it, then select .
Select any server with an NSS volume that is located in the DFS management context that you want to manage.This action locates the DFS management context, lists the servers in that context that host its VLDB services replicas, and reports the current status of the VLDB services on them.
Click to delete the selected DFS management context and its replicas.
The delete action deactivates and unloads the VLDB services on the replicas, deletes the VLDB database on them, then updates eDirectory.
This process can take up to 5 minutes. Do not click again on the page or elsewhere in the browser until the page refreshes with a message that confirms whether the delete was successful or not.
