Detaching a cloned virtual server

You can detach a cloned z/VM virtual server from the server complex. For example, you might create a clone and then realize that this server complex has properties that are not compatible with the intended use of the guest. In this case, you may decide to detach the clone and save it for use in a different server complex.

Since it is not a Linux guest system, the z/VM virtual server will not appear in the Free Linux Guests pane, unless the IBM Director agent on it is discovered later.

Complete the following steps to delete a z/VM virtual server from the z/VM:

  1. If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
  2. Click the z/VM virtual server object inside the server complex.
  3. Click ActionDetach virtual server from server complex.
    註: As an alternative method, you can right-click the z/VM virtual server object and choose Detach virtual server from server complex.
  4. Click Yes in the Warning window, to proceed.
  5. The Progress Indication window shows the progress of the action. After the operation is completed, click Close to close the Progress Indication window.
