DFM - Delete Devices

[Marvin Rhoads]

Can anyone point me on the place to go within LMS 4.0 to delete devices from the "DFM" database?

I thought perhaps "Admin, Collection Settings, Fault, Fault Monitoring Device Administration" but that only gives me the option to rediscover.

I am looking to delete the devices (and then rediscover) because a simple rediscover does not suffice to associate the devices with my local host table (which I am now using for DNS resolution).

DCR picked up the hosts (by name) fine and they display correctly in the DCR listings and RME and Topology components. DFM retained the earlier IP-address-only scheme.

Go to Inventory -> Device Admin -> Manage Device States, click on the count.

You can Unmanage a device here.

Then Inventory -> Device Admin -> Add as Mananged Devices to put it back.

Thanks, Tom.

It's a bit non-obvious how the various modules handle this function, but your suggestion did the trick.
