How do I unmanage a VRF instance in the Smarts MPLS Topology domain?

To unmanage the Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance in the Smarts MPLS Topology domain, do the following:

1. Run the following command to display a list of instances in the VRF class and find out the exact name of the instance that appears in the MPLS Topology domain:
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <MPLS Topology domain name> getInstance VRF 
   
    
2. Run the following command using the exact name of the VRF instance to unmanage the instance (see following example):
   
   <BASEDIR>/smarts/bin/dmctl -s <MPLS Topology domain name> invoke VRF::<VRF instance name> unmanage TRUE
   
    

Example getInstance and unmanage commands

./dmctl -s INCHARGE-MPLS-TOPOLOGY getInstance VRF

VRF-abc-de/pe1-l0.smarts.com
VRF-abc-fg/pe1-l0.smarts.com

./dmctl -s INCHARGE-MPLS-TOPOLOGY  invoke VRF::VRF-CLTHOMAS_CLT12/pe1-l0.abcdef.ghi.net unmanage TRUE
