Not for devices that are unreachable for "two weeks", but it's possible to delete devices in DCR that are simply unreachable "now" using "dcrcli" on the CLi:

First set up the DCRCLIFILE env var so dcrcli doesn't have to prompt for password.

Then run /opt/CSCOpx/bin/dcrcli -u admin cmd=lsids all > dcr-id.txt

Finally run the following script, on Solaris 8:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

cat /dev/null > dcr-imp.csv

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk -F" " '{ gsub(/\(/," ");gsub(/\)/," ");print $4" "$3 }' dcr-id.txt | while read HOST DCRID

do

if ping "$HOST" 3 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null; then

echo "\c"

else

/opt/CSCOpx/bin/dcrcli -u admin del id=${DCRID}

fi

done

Another possibility is to export the DCR inventory, then only print out the devices are pingable to an import-file, and feed that to dcrcli. However, I'm not sure the "cr=file" option means any devices not in the import source would be deleted or not.

/opt/CSCOpx/bin/dcrcli -u admin exp fn=dcr-exp.csv ft=csv

/opt/CSCOpx/bin/dcrcli -u admin impFile fn=dcr-imp.csv ft=csv cr=file

If you have a list of the old device hostnames, by using a device selector trick, you can pull them up in one fell swoop and delete them all at once.

For example, take your text based list (where the hostname or IP is one on each line), and using a program like Textpad, you can do a search and replace by searching for "\n", which is a carriage return, and replacing it with a comma ",". Now the devices are all on one line with no spaces, and has commas in between each hostname or IP. Select all, and paste into CW's device selector screen and press Enter. you will now see a list of all of those devices. Click on the main checkbox to select them all, and then Delete. All done!
