The dpmvc delete command deletes a VM that is in a powered off state. Use this command to clean up and free unused resources.
Important! Verify that you back up any important data before you issue this command. This command deletes the VM data store and data files for the VM, including the disk image.
This command has the following format:
dpmvc delete
[-sc sc_url]
-datacenter_name datacentername
-vm_name vmname
[-vc_server vcservername]
[-vc_user vcuser]
[-vc_password vcpassword]
[-auth_file authorizationfilename]
[-auth_comp componentID] [-wait [timeout]]
[-pre]
[-post]
[-ws_user wsuser]
[-ws_password wspassword]
[-prompt {yes|no}]
[-encrypted_password {yes|no}]
[-locale iso639value]
(Optional) Defines the URL for the service controller host.
Example: https://hostname:port/...
Defines the fully qualified host where the service controller is installed.
Example: localhost.ca.com
Defines the listening port for the service controller server.
Example: 80
Specifies the data center where the VM is located.
Specifies the VM.
Specifies the vCenter Server to access when you have multiple vCenter Servers. Optional for single vCenter Server environments.
(Optional) Specifies the vCenter Server user ID. It is optional depending on whether global credentials are enabled.
(Optional) Specifies the password for the vCenter server user ID. When this option is omitted an encrypted password is retrieved for the user (-vc_user option) and component (-auth_comp option), if specified from either the default authorization file or a specific authorization file (-auth_file).
(Optional) Specifies the full path name of the authorization file to use to retrieve the encrypted password. This file contains the CA Virtual Assurance administrator credentials that were generated using the dpmutil set auth command. When this option is not specified, the default authorization file is used.
(Optional) Specifies a component ID that you can use to group hosts and users.
(Optional) Indicates whether to display the status of the job and not return until the operation completes, fails, or the timeout period is met (if you specify a timeout value). If you do not specify this option, the CLI returns without waiting for completion. If there is no response, the optional timeout value defines the timeout period in minutes. If you enter the wait option with no timeout value, the CLI uses the default wait time from the caimgconf.cfg file or defaults to 120 minutes. In addition to any positive integer, the following timeout values are also possible:
No timeout value.
Wait indefinitely.
