Deleting vCenter and ESX servers

You can use the procedure described here to delete a vCenter or ESX server from the Unitrends appliance. When you delete a vCenter or ESX server, all backups for its VMs are also deleted from the appliance. However, if you have registered a vCenter server and the ESX hosts it is managing, the VM backups are not deleted from the appliance if you delete only the vCenter server. The backups are not deleted unless you also delete the ESX servers hosting them.

To delete a vCenter or ESX server

Note:  To delete the vCenter-RRC client itself, all associated vCenter and ESX servers must first be deleted.

Caution!       Backups for all the virtual machines hosted in the vCenter or ESX environment are deleted upon deleting the server.
