Deleting a Forest on a Host

Deleting a forest on a host permanently deletes the data in the forest as well as the configuration information. A forest cannot be deleted if it is still attached to a database. You must first detach the forest from the database before you can delete from a host.

Assuming that the forest is not attached to any database, follow these steps to delete a forest from a host:

1. Click the Hosts icon on the left tree menu.

2. Click the name of the host which contains the forest you want to delete, either on the tree menu or the summary page.

3. Click the Forests icon under the selected host.

4. Click the Delete button corresponding to the forest that you want to delete.

5. Click OK to confirm deleting the forest from the host.

6. Click the Delete button.

7. Click OK to confirm dropping the host.

Deleting a host is a “hot” admin task for the other hosts in the group.
