Delete an integrated Windows server's NWSD

Before you delete a network server description (NWSD), you need to unlink its disk drives (see Unlink integrated Windows server disk drives) and delete storage spaces that are associated with that NWSD (see Delete integrated Windows server disk drives). Then you can delete the NWSD.

1. To unlink the storage space for the system drive for NWSDs created at V4R5 and later, on the i5/OS command line, type RMVNWSSTGL NWSSTG(nwsdname1) NWSD(nwsdname). Press Enter.
2. To unlink the storage space for the install source drive, type RMVNWSSTGL NWSSTG(nwsdname2) NWSD(nwsdname) and press Enter.
3. Any user defined storage spaces that have been linked to the NWSD can also be removed at this time using the command as often as needed RMVNWSSTGL NWSSTG(nwsstgname) NWSD(nwsdname) and press Enter.
4. To delete the network server storage space object for the system drive, type the command DLTNWSSTG NWSSTG(nwsdname1) and press Enter.
5. To delete the network server storage space object for the install source drive, type DLTNWSSTG NWSSTG(nwsdname2) and press Enter.
6. Remove any additional storage spaces that are no longer needed by typing the DLTNWSSTG NWSSTG(nwsstgname) command and pressing Enter.
