Question

I have some nodes with a brownish grey icons similar to the SA Agent Installation, those servers were decommissioned and i want to delete those from HPSA but I am unable to right click remove nodes. How I can remove these nodes ?

Answer

You can try the following spinwrapper command to obtain the server details first:

env PYTHONPATH=/opt/opsware/pylibs2 /opt/opsware/bin/python2 -i -c 'from coglib import spinwrapper;import pprint,sys;spin = spinwrapper.SpinWrapper(url="http://127.0.0.1:1007");pprint.pprint(spin.Device.get(<server_ID>))'

Once you've made sure this is the server you like to delete, then you can proceed with the actual deletion:

env PYTHONPATH=/opt/opsware/pylibs2 /opt/opsware/bin/python2 -i -c 'from coglib import spinwrapper;import pprint,sys;spin = spinwrapper.SpinWrapper(url="http://127.0.0.1:1007");pprint.pprint(spin.Device.delete(<Server_ID>))'

Remember that this will delete all the information of that server in the database and after this you can't recover that information.
