Unconfiguring CloudPoint plug-ins
CloudPoint plug-ins allow CloudPoint to discover the assets on the host so that you can protect those assets by taking snapshots. If required, you can remove a CloudPoint plug-in configuration using the NetBackup UI.
Before you remove a plug-in configuration from the host, consider the following:
You must remove all the snapshots of the assets that are related to the plug-in that you wish to unconfigure.
Plug-in unconfiguration fails if asset snapshots exist.
Unconfiguring a plug-in removes the plug-in from the selected host. To protect the plug-in related assets on the same host again, you will have to reconfigure that plug-in on the host.
Once you unconfigure a plug-in, all the assets that are related to the plug-in are removed from the CloudPoint configuration. The assets no longer appear in the NetBackup UI.
For example, if you unconfigure the CloudPoint SQL plug-in, all the SQL instances that are discovered by CloudPoint are removed and they no longer appear in the NetBackup UI.
After unconfiguring a plug-in from a host, only the file system assets that belong to the host are discovered and displayed in the UI.
To unconfigure a plug-in from a host
- Sign in to the NetBackup UI.
- Verify that you have removed all the plug-in related asset snapshots.
- From the menu on the left, click Workloads > Cloud and then click the Virtual machines tab.
- On the Virtual machines tab, select the host where you want unconfigure the agent and then from the menu bar that appears at the top, click Unconfigure.
CloudPoint unconfigures the plug-in from the host. Observe that the Unconfigure button now changes to Configure. This indicates that the plug-in unconfiguration is successful on the host.
