2.4. Remove APIC Service Graph¶
2.4.1. APIC – Remove Only Service Graph Deployment¶
The easiest way to remove a service graph deployment, which is same as removing virtual server from the BIG-IP, yet remain all the EPG and device selection policy parameters for easy re-deployment is to un-associate a service graph under the contract subject.
Go to the contract subject by clicking the following:
Tenants SJC -> Security Policies -> Contracts -> web2app-contract -> Subject
Move the mouse to Service Graph and hover near the drop-down menu, you will see “X”, click “X” and graph will be removed from contract subject:
Click “X”, the service graph SJC/WEB will disappear:
Click “SUBMIT”
Notice iWorkflow: Tenant, Service and Node are empty:
BIG-IP, the partition is removed, including all virtual servers and network related configurations:
2.4.2. APIC – Re-deploy Service Graph¶
In order to re-deploy the same graph, simply go to contract subject and re-associate SJC/WEB under Service Graph:
Click “SUBMIT”
You will see the Application Service is redeployed in iWorkflow and BIG-IP
Notice the tenant VID, graph ID and the RD values are different from previous deployment.
2.4.3. APIC – Remove all graph associated objects¶
If you want to clean up all the related objects of the deployed graph template, go to:
Tenants SJC ->L4-L7 Services -> L4-L7 Service Graph Templates, right click on the graph template WEB, then select

Contract: web2app-contract
Provider EPF: App1/app
Radio button: “remove both contracts and relations to the EPGs”
Check box:

Click “SUBMIT”
Notice on APIC:
