Removing an IMS
Using the Resiliency Platform console,, you can remove an Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) from a resiliency domain. Removing an IMS removes the information about the IMS in the Resiliency Manager repository for the resiliency domain. It also removes the assets such as virtual machines and applications that were discovered by that particular IMS.
The remove IMS operation does not remove the asset Infrastructure configurations such as configurations of a vCenter server, enclosures, hyper-V server. These asset Infrastructure configurations can be used again for any new or re-provisioned IMS.
Note:
Remove IMS operation does not perform any cleanup of the assets configured with the IMS. It is recommended not to remove an IMS and add it back without re-provisioning it with Resiliency Manager since it may lead to incorrect configurations. You may use Reconnect operation in case you want to remove and then re-add the same IMS.
To remove an IMS
- Navigate
Settings (menu bar) > Infrastructure > Details View
- Under the data center, locate the IMS, and do the following:
Select the vertical ellipsis for the IMS > Remove. Confirm the deletion.
- Verify that the IMS is removed.
Additional cleanup is optional. If resiliency groups were created for the assets managed by the IMS, and they are no longer needed, you can remove them.
