Removing a VMware vCenter Server discovery configuration
You can remove a VMware vCenter Server from Veritas Resiliency Platform. If the vCenter Server has been configured for discovery by more than one Infrastructure Management Server (IMS), you can choose whether to select the IMS to remove it from or remove it from all the IMSs.
To remove a VMware virtualization discovery configuration
- Prerequisites
Ensure that you consider how removing the virtualization discovery may affect resiliency groups. If you remove a vCenter Server (or associated ESX servers) from discovery by an IMS, any virtual machines from those ESX servers are no longer discovered and monitored by the IMS. Therefore, if any of those virtual machines are currently in a resiliency group, they will be automatically removed from the resiliency group.
- Navigate
Settings (menu bar) > Infrastructure > Details View
Expand the data center > Virtualization and Private Cloud > VMware tab
On the row for the vCenter server, select the vertical ellipsis > Remove.
- If more than one IMS is configured for discovery of the vCenter Server, the wizard prompts you to choose whether to remove the vCenter configuration from all IMSs or from selected IMSs. When you choose from selected Infrastructure Management Servers, the list of IMSs is displayed for you to make your selection.
- Confirm that you want to remove the vCenter Server configuration from one or more IMSs. Discovery occurs in the background. You can view the progress on the Activities page.
