Deleting a Fabric

Delete a remote fabric from the global namespace.

Prerequisites

You must be a fabric manager to delete a fabric.

You must delete fabrics one at a time. You cannot delete multiple fabrics at the same time.

To delete a remote fabric, you must have logged in with your single sign-on credentials.

About this task

A local fabric is the fabric by which you are logged onto the Data Fabric UI. Any fabric, other than the local fabric, that has been added to the global namespace, is a remote fabric.

You can delete a remote fabric via the Data Fabric UI. You cannot delete a local fabric. If no remote fabrics are present, the Delete command is not available.

CAUTION
When you delete a fabric, the fabric is uninstalled, and any running instances of the fabric are destroyed. The data on a fabric becomes inaccessible when you delete the fabric. Ensure that you do not need the data on the fabric or the required data is backed up, before you delete the fabric.
