Unable to delete unused VPN community from smart console

Hey guys,

I really hope someone can help me solve this issue, because I must have spent 3 hours on it yesterday and still cant figure it out. Not sure if Im missing something stupid, but I feel like I went through everything and still no luck.

Im trying to delete unused vpn community to Azure and I removed all the references of it already (interoperable objects, rules, etc), but whenever I attempt to remove it from dashboard, keeps saying thats its still being referenced somewhere ( I attached word doc with the screenshots).

I even attempted this from guidbedit, where it shows only one reference, but error is exactly the same. Also went through every single setting in threat prevention policy, but cant find anything referenced there.

Weird thing is and this might be only me, but I have a gut feeling it might be an issue with the fact that isp redunndancy is disabled, BUT, there are 2 links listed there and if I delete them and install policy, they always come back, so not sure if that could be the issue.

If anyone has any suggestions, would be greateful, as always.

Cheers,

 

Andy

You can try using the generic-object API here to delete the object directly.
Something like: delete generic-object uid xxx
This may have other side effects and recommend taking backups, etc.

two simple question to start with, maybe already done but to be sure.

Did you search with "show indirect...." enabled ?

Did you a publish before trying to delete ?

Thanks for that @Wolfgang ! Getting closer I think, BUT, not so clear for me from below output what name is referencing...

Also, I went through cpm.elg file after running through that sk and searched for "Azure-vpn", which is community name I want to delete and found some objects ID referenced, tried to find them in Guidbedit, nothing...

You can try using the generic-object API here to delete the object directly.
Something like: delete generic-object uid xxx
This may have other side effects and recommend taking backups, etc.

adding to what phoneboy said, you can try running "?ObjectDeletionException" to check for the blocking session ID after trying to delete the object in smartconsole, and after run mgmt_cli delete generic-object uid <objectID>. Then try to delete it on smartconsole again

@Wolfgang Thanks a lot for that sk mate, as that steered me in the right direction, so its only fair I also mark your post as a solution too.

Thanks again!

I had a remotely similar issue a couple versions ago, smartdashboard's 'where used' had some additional hints in the 'Context' column as to dependencies that were not displayed in smartconsole.  Might not be relevant here, but worth a shot.

Hey @Lloyd_Braun 

Thanks for responding, appreciated. Can you clarify what column you are referring to please? I dont see "context" anywhere, so I must be looking at the wrong spot : - )

In r81.10, manage & settings, launch smartdashboard from https inspection setting. In smartdashboard's object explorer, the 'where used' dialogue shows a 'Context' column that had some hints as to object dependencies that weren't displayed elsewhere. If I remember correctly, after resolving that dependency, I still could not delete the object until the next day.  I believe there is some daily/automated database maintenance that had a helping hand in it.

Great hint, but sadly, no luck : - (

I did just notice that from the tab you mentioned in legacy dashboard, it DOES show that its referenced somewhere in the policy, but I cant for the life of me see where...will keep looking.

We actually have the exact same issue. Some reference to a directional match column that doesn't exist anymore. We noticed it because our upgrade to R81.20 failed because of this in the last step after nearly two hours...TAC opened today and they ran some cleanup script but even after this no success. They deleted this object from the database itself and running our upgrade again in the lab.

I hope this fixes the issue. I will give an update tomorrow.

O wow, so seems its not such an easy issue. What does script do? If you dont mind, if you are willing to send it, I can give it a go.
