Unable to Decommission a Partition

Symptoms

Unable to decommission a partition image using the Fabric Manager. The Fabric Manager event console displays “Decommissioning failed” event. Even though the Fabric Manager displays the partition image status as Running, all the actions you perform on that partition image would fail as it no longer exists on the PEPP.

Cause

WS-MAN command exception.

Solutions

Log on to the s-Par user interface using the IP address 172.29.x.253, where x is the platform number. Look for the partition image that you were trying to decommission. If the partition image exists in s-Par, then do the following:

  1. Logon to the Fabric Management Platform as a root user using PuTTY (or use the RDP client session of the Fabric Management Platform).

    The root user login is root/Administer4Me.

  2. Using the following command, delete the partition image:

    #sh /usr/local/ffm/scripts/deleteDeviceByName.sh

    Where DeviceByName is the name of the partition as it appears in the Fabric Manager user interface. This is case sensitive.
