UCS Manager VLAN Removed From LAN tab before vNIC

[Joshua Cronin]

VLAN was deleted in UCSM prior to it being removed as a reference on multiple vNIC's, I'm receiving faults on the vNIC's now in reference to the VLAN that was removed, but its no longer visible on the LAN tab or within the vNIC.

Please Advise.

Can you please post the error message ?

Recreated the issue in a test environment, see below.  I should also mention this is part of an updating vNIC template, so I cannot simply expand the VLAN's under the vNIC and delete the VLAN, its greyed out.  If I examine the vNIC template and try to modify VLANs to remove, it is not listed.

If I do unbind, delete, and then rebind, it recreates the deleted VLAN that is no longer viewable in the vNIC template.

Hi

It's a ugly cosmetic issue: anyway, it's only a warning message.

I will attach a file, which shows what happens; in short

Lets assume a named Vlan ABC, which is assigned an id of 1231.

Deleting this Vlan in Network tab removes it there completely. It also doesn't show up neither in the template nor SP section of the vnic's window.

However, the named Vlan ABC is a orphan, which gets an id of the default Vlan (=1)

I can't find a way to delete this orphant named Vlan with UCS Manager;

The only way to get rid of it: delete the vnic's in the template which reference this named Vlan.
