Preferred Method: Go to the Data Collector policy in the Portal and use the "Exclude" field to exclude objects from collection. For example, for Hitachi Data Systems, you would exclude arrays in the Data Collector policy. Similarly, for VMware, you would exclude ESX servers in the Data Collector policy. When you exclude objects through a Data Collector policy, NetBackup IT Analytics will automatically delete these objects from the reporting database.

Alternatively, you can go to the centralized system and decommission the object. In this case, you must also delete the object from the NetBackup IT Analytics database.
