Remove a Service Engine from a Service Engine Group

Only users with the SuperAdmin access level may deploy and manage service engines.

See Service Engines to learn about service engines and their use.

Procedure

To remove a service engine from a service engine group, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to Netreo as a user with the SuperAdmin access level.
2. Go to the main menu and select Administration > System > Service Engines to open the Service Engine Administration page.
3. In the Service Engine Groups panel locate the service engine group that contains the service engine you wish to remove and select its edit icon in the ACTIONS column.
4. On the edit page that appears locate the service engine that you wish to remove and select its delete icon in the ACTIONS column.
5. In the dialog that appears select either Make Stand Alone or Delete Permanently.
   • Make Stand Alone - removes the service engine from the group and places it back into the Stand Alone Service Engines panel. There may be a delay of several minutes before this is reflected in the UI.
   • Delete Permanently - removes the service engine from the group and deletes the actual service engine deployment (i.e., that service engine no longer exists).

Any devices currently assigned to a service engine when it is removed from a service engine group remain assigned to the group, and will be redistributed among the group. Because of this, it is not possible to remove the last service engine in a service engine group until any devices assigned to that group are re-assigned elsewhere (i.e., to other service engine groups or stand alone service engines).
