Deprovisioning workflow

Deprovisioning workflow path: /usr/lpp/zcx_zos/workflows/deprovision.xml

The deprovisioning workflow asks you to provide:
  1. The unique name of the zCX appliance instance to deprovision
  2. The zCX registry directory path
    • This can be found in the zCX z/OSMF provisioning workflow step 1 or in the workflow variable input properties file used for provisioning. If you still cannot locate it, try the recommended path: /global/zcx_zos/instances

The zCX deprovisioning workflow uses the instance name and location to retrieve the variable values used for provisioning. It will then use the values to return the resources used by the zCX instance.

Remove resources and security controls

If you are permanently deprovisioning a zCX instance you should consider releasing any reserved resources (such as zCX Dynamic VIPA) and removing any security controls associated with this specific zCX instance (such as unique zCX userIDs and related profiles).
