How to Remove Obsolete Endpoints

The DMS stores information about your enterprise. If you remove a computer from the enterprise when you uninstall CA ControlMinder from that computer, the DMS still contains a reference to that node. As a routine maintenance procedure, you should clean the DMS from these obsolete nodes.

To remove obsolete nodes, do one of the following:

• Run the dmsmgr utility on the DMS computer to perform a routine clean up:

  dmsmgr -cleanup number_of_days -dms name
  

  number_of_days

  Defines the minimum number of days in which the CA ControlMinder node has been unavailable for.

• Manually delete a specific node by issuing the following selang command on the DMS computer:

  rr HNODE HNODE_name
  

Important! When you delete a node, CA ControlMinder removes all the HNODE related deployment tasks, removes all the deployment tasks' packages (unless they have other deployment task members), and only then removes the HNODE object.
