YOU CANNOT DELETE A DIRECTORY RECORD THAT IS IN YOUR PROFILE

Reason:

You have issued the MAINT command to remove a virtual device in your directory entry. Your directory entry is based on a directory profile, and the definition of the device comes from the profile. CA VM:Director does not allow you to change your profile or remove yourself from dependence on it. The MAINT DEFINE and MAINT DELETE subfunctions can encounter this problem. Your directory entry is not updated.

Action:

You should probably keep the device set up for you by your system administrator. If it is imperative that you not have a device at that virtual address, include a CP DETACH command in your PROFILE EXEC to remove the device from your virtual machine. Alternatively, you can define a different device at that same address using MAINT DEFINE or MAINT LINK. You will receive warning messages that you are overriding your profile, but CA VM:Director allows you to define the new device.
