removing DB record for old filer

sswain123 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:02:11 GMT

Hi All,

I’ve repurposed a retired 6080 with a new host name and ip…. I find when I add this ‘new’ host into DFM, I’m still getting the previous host name showing up and the filer show it’s in a down’d state. I have to assume this is based on system ID it's pulling from an old record in the DB….

I’ve run ‘dfm controller delete <ID>’ to remove from DFM, but I’m wondering how I get into the DB and actually delete the old record. Am i going down the right path?

Thanks,
Scott

That did the trick... I ran the 3 options and everything looks good.

Thanks Adai!
