About this task
When you delete a Vserver, the following objects associated with the Vserver are also deleted:
•
LIFs, LIF failover groups, and LIF routing groups
•
Export policies
•
Efficiency policies
If you delete a Vserver that is configured to use Kerberos, or modify a Vserver to use a different Service Principal Name (SPN), the Vserver's original service principal is not automatically deleted or disabled from the Kerberos realm. You must manually delete or disable the principal. You must have the Kerberos realm administrator's user name and password to delete or disable the principal.
If you need to move data from a first Vserver to a second Vserver before you delete the first Vserver, you can use SnapMirror technology.
