Removing a vCenter server

When a vCenter server is no longer needed, you can disconnect it from Spectrum Connect by removing it from the Interfaces pane.

About this task

  • A removed vCenter server, along with the storage services attached to it, can no longer be managed by the IBM® Storage Enhancements for VMware vSphere Web Client. Following the removal, the IBM Storage Enhancements become disabled for that vCenter on the vSphere Web Client Server side.
  • If the removed vCenter server is attached to active storage service, the information for these services, as well as their pools is no longer displayed in vSphere Web Client. However, vSphere data access and service level for the services and pools is not affected.
  • After the removal, you can add the vCenter server again to fully restore its management.

Procedure

  1. On the Interfaces pane, right-click the vCenter server that you want to remove, and then select Remove. A confirmation message is displayed.
  2. Click OK to remove the vCenter server.
