Depending on where in the provision process failure occurs, and the type of failure, extra steps may be required:
- Force deletion of the provision object using the User Interface: The force option will remove underlying filesystems shared from the Delphix Engine, irrespective of any perceived dependencies on these filesystems. If provision fails very early in the process, it is common for the force option to be the only way to remove an object. This may happen when for example, the wrong password has been entered for the target-side system database user:
- In rare cases, removal of a failed virtual tenant may be required. For example a tenant with the name “TST”:
SELECT * FROM M_DATABASES WHERE DATABASE_NAME=’TST’;
ALTER SYSTEM STOP DATABASE TST IMMEDIATE;
DROP DATABASE TST DROP BACKUPS;
If required, unmount stale mount points
umount -lf /mnt/provision/example
