Deleting a LIF in a SAN environment

Before you delete a LIF, you should ensure that the host connected to the LIF can access the LUNs through another path.

Before you begin

If the LIF you want to delete is a member of a port set, you must first remove the LIF from the port set before you can delete the LIF.

  1. Verify the name of the LIF and current port to be deleted: network interface show –vserver vserver_name
  2. Delete the LIF: network interface delete
    Example network interface delete -vserver vs1 -lif lif1
  3. Verify that you deleted the LIF: network interface show
    Example network interface show -vserver vs1
                
    Logical Status Network Current Current Is
