SIM 4.2 Delete System not working

[Chris Hall_12]

I have three systems I want to delete from SIM. I can delete any other systems except these three. When I check the checkbox and click the delete button, I am asked for comfirmation and then nothing happens. The systems still exist in the list.

I need to delete these systems because they are part of a Blade chassis which I also need to delete. Of course, the chassis has these three dependencies, so I have to delete the individual systems before it will let me delete the chassis.

Is there a utility to clean up systems from SIM, or some neat little 'trick' to turfing systems that will not delete from the GUI?

Thanks for the reply.

I did not find any ILO systems related to these three systems. I removed all "unknown" systems and devices listed, and I removed a few CRI boards that were not related so as to clean up as many unknowns as I could.

I still can not delete the three systems that need to be removed.

There is no error when trying to remove them. (ie: no 'dependency' error)

Any further suggestions? I am also open to using a SIM tool or Database tool to safely remove these items.

Thanks.

I had problems deleting any systems or devices when the SQL log file was full and could no longer expand itself. But, that should apply to all devices, not just certain ones.

Question, do they delete and return or won't delete at all?

[Chris Hall_12]

The devices do not delete from the GUI. The list appears to refresh, but they still exist.

Could my database be corrupt? Is there a way to to re-initialize? Even if I lose data, the devices will eventually repopulate.

Reboot the CMS, rescan the entire subnet, might be an orpan. Check all managed and unmanaged servers lists.

I have resolved this issue. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I restarted the server last night. After the restart, entries deleted fine.
