Deleting Server Locations

If a server location becomes unnecessary, delete it from the Avalanche Console. You must stop or uninstall the server before you can delete the server location. To retain historical data, Avalanche does not immediately remove deleted server locations. Deleted server locations move to the Deleted Server Locations region and are no longer configured from the Avalanche Console. You can click on the server location to access historical data.

Note: Wavelink recommends uninstalling servers completely before deleting server locations. See the Java Console help for information on uninstalling servers. If a server starts again after the server location has been deleted, Avalanche will detect the server and place it in Unassigned Server Locations.

A server location that is in the Deleted Server Locations region can be removed completely or restored. When you remove server locations from the Deleted Server Locations region, the server location and historical data are completely deleted from the databases. When a server is restored, it is moved to the Unassigned Server Locations region until you move it to the desired region.

Unassigned server locations will download the default profiles but do not get any other profile settings and do not receive updates such as server settings, software packages, or infrastructure profiles. Mobile devices will not connect to unassigned server locations. Server locations restored from the Deleted Server Locations region to the Unassigned Server Locations region retain their last configuration.

To move a server location to the Deleted Server Locations region:

Navigate to the region directly above the location that you want to delete and click the Locations context link.

In the Sub-locations panel, select the check box next to the location you want to delete and click Delete.

Note: To restore or completely delete a server location, you must use the Java Console.
