Canceling service delegation to a vCenter server

When required, you can cancel a storage service delegation to the vCenter server.

  • A storage service, which delegation has been canceled, can no longer be managed by the included solution components (see Included cloud interfaces).
  • If the storage resources on such service contain working volumes, the information of these volumes is no longer displayed in vSphere Web Client. However, vSphere data access and service level for these volumes is not affected. In addition, the removed storage pools (including its volumes) can be managed from the standard IBM® storage system management tools.
  • The working volumes of such service remain visible in vSphere Web Client, as long as they are mapped to ESXi hosts. However, these volumes cannot be managed via vWC.
  • At any time, you can delegate the storage service again to fully restore its management.
  1. On the Interfaces pane, click a vCenter server which service delegation you want to cancel.
    The services that are currently delegated to the vCenter server are highlighted on the Spaces/Storage Services pane.
  2. Right-click on a service which delegation you want cancel, and then select Cancel delegation to vCenter_IP_address, or click the Detach/Cancel Delegation button on the service.
    The service color changes to indicate the successful cancellation of service delegation.

    You can continue the process by right-clicking delegated services under the current space.
