Deletes an SVM. As a prerequisite, SVM objects must be deleted first. SnapMirror relationships must be deleted and data volumes must be offline and deleted.

  • The number of parallel SVMs that can be created must not be greater than five.

  • If a sixth SVM POST request is issued, the following error message is generated: "Maximum allowed SVM jobs exceeded. Wait for the existing SVM jobs to complete and try again."

  • vserver delete

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

uuid

string

path

True

Filter by UUID

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0
