11.9 Deleting a Workload

The Delete option allows a user with Workload management permissions to delete the workload from the project. Deleting a licensed workload does not free the consumed license.

Before you execute a workload transformation or migration, you might want to delete a workload if the workload is no longer exits or is no longer a candidate for transformation or migration. For example, the workload is no longer available if the hardware fails or if you decommission the workload prior to the transformation project. The workload is no longer a candidate if you determine that some workloads will remain in the current facility.

However, if only the profile for the source workload has changed, you should re-import the source workload information instead of deleting it. You can use the same FQDN in the Bulk Import spreadsheet to re-import the source workload with the modified data. After you have edited a proposed workload, a re-import modifies only the source workload information. See Section A.6, Re-Importing Workloads.

To delete a workload from a project:

  1. In the Web Interface toolbar, select Planning.

  2. Select the Workloads tab.

  3. In the Workloads list, use the Filter and Advanced Search to locate the appropriate workload.

  4. Select the workload, then click Delete.

  5. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
