Chapter 19 Virtual Domains : Virtual Domains : Configuring Virtual Domains : Disabling a Virtual Domain
  
Disabling a Virtual Domain
The status of a VDOM can be Enabled, or Disabled.
Active status VDOMs can be configured. Active is the default status when a VDOM is created. The management VDOM must be an Active VDOM. For more information on the management VDOM, see “Changing the management virtual domain”.
Disabled status VDOMs are considered “offline”. The configuration remains, but you cannot use the VDOM, and only the super_admin administrator can view it. You cannot delete a disabled VDOM without first enabling it, and removing references to it like usual—there is no Delete icon for disabled status VDOMs. You can assign interfaces to a disabled VDOM. See “Deleting a VDOM”.
The following procedures show how to disable a VDOM called “test-vdom”.
