Removing VMs from the CDP gateway
When CDP protection is no longer required for a VM, you can remove protections from that VM, or switch the VM to classic policy.
To remove CDP protection from a VM
- Go to vCenter and change the VM's storage policy from
vtstaptoDatastore default. - In the NetBackup web UI, on the left, click VMware under Workloads, you can see a list of VMs with protection details.
- Click the name of the VM, from which you want to remove protection, in the subsequent page, Remove protection.
You can see a confirmation message when the VM is removed.
If you remove protection from a VM without removing the vtstap policy from the VM, you can see a partially successful removal message in the UI. These partially removed VMs are not included in the count in the tab.
Note:
The partially removed VMs are neither protected by CPD nor by classic policy. Also, you cannot re-subscribe the VM to a CDP gateway. Hence, it is recommended to detach the vtstap storage policy from the VM, and fully unsubscribe the VM from the CDP gateway.
