If you really want to delete a Zone, you need a bit of patience and a few tricks
1. Disable the Zone 2. Put Primary Storage in Maintenance Mode 3. Put all Hosts in Maintenance Mode (we are trying to stop ALL VMs, including the System VMs 4. Make sure all the Expunge Global Settings are very short, say 60 Secs 5. Delete all VMs (if you can delete the Accounts as it will take all the resources with it) 6. Delete all Virtual Routers 7. Delete the System VMs 8. WAIT for what seems like a long time and monitor the Resources Tab, it should show Zero for everything. 9. Delete Networks, Hosts, Clusters, PODs etc 10. WAIT again 11.. Delete the Zone If any items refuse to delete, sometime I drop to the DB and mark them as deleted Remember if you are using XenServer Hosts, you will need to re-install the OS, you will not be able to simply add them back into a new Zone If you are going to resuse storage, I suggest you also clear it down first.

I was this close to reinstalling anyway, but I like to imagine this is a production setup and wiping out the DB would make some customers angry. Anyway, I might have just shot myself in the foot by pushing all the shiny buttons. :-) Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
