Deleting Hosts
You may want to delete hosts from the reporting database for the following reasons:
You do not want the hosts to appear in your reports.
The host is inactive and should no longer be backed up.
Note:
If you choose to , you are irretrievably deleting hosts from host groups and the reporting database. All related host historical data will also be permanently deleted from the database and unavailable in all reports. A pop-up window warns you of this action to prevent inadvertent deletions.
Note:
When you delete a host, it removes everything related to the host except the VM Server. To remove the related VM Server, you just explicitly delete it in the Inventory. This prevents servers from being orphaned in the database.
In most cases, you should remove a host from a group, thereby un-linking it from its relationship with other hosts in that group. Also, you can easily move or add a host to other groups.
