NetBackup™ for KVM Administrator's Guide

Remove a KVM host

If you no longer need to protect a KVM host, you can remove it from the list of registered KVM hosts.

Note the following:

  • VMs continue to display in NetBackup until all the existing images have expired and 30 days have passed since the last discovery.

  • The KVM host still exists as a client in NetBackup until you uninstall the NetBackup server or client software from the KVM host.

To remove a KVM host

  1. On the left, select Workloads > KVM, then select the Hosts tab.
  2. In the right pane, locate the KVM host.
  3. Select Actions > Remove.
  4. Remove the KVM host from any NetBackup policies.
