Remove VMware servers

Use this procedure to remove VMware servers from NetBackup.

Note:

If you delete a server, all virtual machines that are associated with the deleted VMware server are no longer protected. You can still recover existing backup images, but backups of VMs on this server fail.

To remove a VMware server

  1. On the left, click Workloads > VMware, then click the VMware servers tab.

    The tab lists: the names and types of vCenters, standalone ESXi servers, VMware Cloud Director servers, and Restore ESXi servers that you have access to. You can also review the Discovery Status and Last discovery attempt to determine when the server's VMs and other objects were last discovered.

  2. Locate the VMware server.
  3. Select Actions > Delete.
  4. If you are sure that you want to delete the VMware server, click Delete.
