Removing VMs

To remove all installed VMs, use the following command with the all option:

unconfigure switch {all | erase [all | nvram]}

Note

VM installation files (OVA, qcow2, QEMU-compatible) are not removed with this command.

Be aware that using this command generally resets the switch back to factory defaults, which includes removing the configuration file, management IP address, failsafe account, and SummitStack-specific parameters, and the rebooting the switch.

Exporting VM Disk Images

save vm vm_name image image_file
