Appendix B IPM Command Reference
ipm deltarg
Removes a target device from the IPM database using command line prompts.
If you try to delete a target and IPM issues an error message such as Could not delete the
target, the cause might be one of the following:
• The target is being used as a final target by one or more collectors.
• The target is being used as an intermediate hop by one or more Path Echo collectors.
See Deleting Targets for details about how to resolve this problem.
