Deleting Devices and Device Groups from the Database
Users with Administrator or Manager access can delete devices and device groups from the EPICenter
database. If you have Monitor access only, you cannot access this function.
Deleting a Device
You can begin the delete function using the Delete button on the toolbar, or by selecting a device in the
Component Tree, right-clicking to display the pop-up menu, and selecting Delete Device.
To delete a device from the EPICenter database, follow these steps:
1 Click the Delete button at the top of the Inventory Manager main page.
Select the appropriate tab to display the Delete Devices window (see Figure 36).

field. Select All Devices to view the list of all devices from all device
groups.

Select one or more devices in the Devices list, and click Delete.
4 Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the device information from the database.
Deleting an online device removes the information about the device from the EPICenter database. This
means that the device can no longer be monitored and managed from the EPICenter application. If the
device is an Extreme switch, deleting it removes any SmartTraps rules, both from the database and the
switch change table. It also removes all information about VLANs, QoS Policy, and Virtual Chassis
connections associated with this switch from the EPICenter database.
