Before you delete a LIF, you should ensure that the host connected to the LIF can access the LUNs through another path.

What you'll need

If the LIF you want to delete is a member of a port set, you must first remove the LIF from the port set before you can delete the LIF.

Delete a LIF with ONTAP System Manager (9.7 and later).

Steps
  1. In System Manager, click Network > Overview, and then select Network Interfaces.

  2. Select the storage VM from which you want to delete the LIF.

  3. Click Menu options icon and select Delete.
