The support machine image will be created automatically as part of the Cloud ONTAP deployment. It only occurs the first time.

----------------
Customer 06:58:24 pm

----------------
Paul 07:00:17 pm
You should always perform the delete from OCCM to make sure that all of the resources are cleaned up appropriately. You can also add storage from OCCM.
----------------
Customer 07:03:52 pm
u there?
----------------
Paul 07:03:57 pm
yes.
----------------
Customer 07:04:08 pm

🙂
cool it worked
----------------
Paul 07:07:52 pm
I am glad to hear it.
Do you have any other questions?
----------------
Customer 07:08:11 pm
how do i clean up after testing
----------------
Paul 07:10:26 pm
When you click on the working environment, you will see a page that shows information on the Cloud ONTAP Storage instance. Near the top, just below the Working Environments tab, you should see a couple of icons.
One is a small Search icon and the other is a trash bin icon. The trash bin is used to delete the working environment.
It will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the working environment.
----------------
Customer 07:12:34 pm
cool
----------------
Paul 07:12:34 pm
Once you click the checkbox to indicate that you understand that the instance and all associated resources will be delete, you click delete. This will delete the Cloud ONTAP instance and all of its resources.
----------------
Customer 07:12:47 pm
