Configure the removal of FCoE connectivity by deleting the Fibre Channel path and domain elements from the ACI fabric.

This task removes FCoE enablement from leaf switch interfaces on the ACI fabric by deleting the previously configured Fibre Channel components.

To undo FCoE enablement of leaf switch interfaces on the ACI fabric, delete the Fibre Channel path and Fibre Channel domain and its elements that you defined in Deploy FCoE vFC Ports Using the APIC GUI.

Note

If during clean up you delete the Ethernet configuration object (infraHPortS) for a vFC port (for example, in the Interface Selector table on the Leaf Interface Profiles page of the GUI), the default vFC properties remain associated with that interface. For example it the interface configuration for vFC NP port 1/20 is deleted, that port remains a vFC port but with default F port setting rather than non-default NP port setting applied.

Before you begin

You must know the name of the Fibre Channel path and Fibre Channel domain including its associated VSAN pool, VLAN pool, and VSAN Attributes map that you specified during FCoE deployment.

Procedure

  1. Delete the associated Fibre Channel path to undeploy vFC from the port/VSAN whose path was specified on this deployment.

    This action removes vFC deployment from the port/VSAN whose path was specified on this deployment.

    1. Click Tenants > tenant_name > Application Profiles > app_profile_name > Application EPGs > app_epg_name > Fibre Channel (Paths). Then right-click the name of the target Fibre Channel path and choose Delete.
    2. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

  2. Delete the VLAN to VSAN map that you configured when you defined the Fibre Channel domain.

    This action removes vFC deployment from all the elements defined in the map.

    1. Click Fabric > Access Policies > Pools > VSAN Attributes. Then right-click the name of the target map and choose Delete.
    2. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

  3. Delete the VLAN and VSAN pools that you defined when you defined the Fibre Channel domain.

    This action eliminates all vFC deployment from the ACI fabric.

    1. Click Fabric > Access Policies > Pools > VSAN and then, right-click the name of the target VSAN pool name and choose Delete.
    2. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
    3. Click Fabric > Access Policies > Pools > VLAN then, right-click the target VLAN pool name and choose Delete.
    4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

  4. Delete the Fibre Channel Domain that contained the VSAN pool, VLAN pool, and Map elements you just deleted.

    1. Click Tenants > tenant_name > Application Profiles > Fibre Channel Domains. Then right-click the name of the target Fibre Channel Domain and choose Delete.
    2. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

  5. You can delete the tenant/EPG/App and the selectors if you don't need them.

    Option Action
    If you want to delete the associated application EPG but save the associated tenant and application profile:

    Click Tenants > tenant_name > Application Profiles > app_profile_name > Application EPGs, right-click the name of the target application EPG, choose Delete, then click Yes to confirm deletion.
    If you want to delete the associated application profile but save the associated tenant:

    Click Tenants > tenant_name > Application Profiles, right-click the name of the target application profile, choose Delete, then click Yes to confirm deletion.
    If you want to delete the associated tenant:

    Click Tenants > , right-click the name of the target tenant, choose Delete, then click Yes to confirm deletion.

FCoE connectivity is successfully removed from the ACI fabric and the specified Fibre Channel components are deleted.
