Deleting VM servers

Delete a VM server from the replication manager database. After a VM server is deleted, it is no
longer recognized by the replication manager.

Considerations

You can use the GUI or the CLUI. See

VM server actions cross reference

.

Any guest OS-enabled hosts on the VM server being deleted will remain. The properties panel
for guest OS-enabled hosts will display the parent VM server as Unknown.

Check for running jobs and scripts

CAUTION:

Ensure that no jobs or scripts are running that involve a guest OS on the VM

server. Deleting a VM server while a job or script is running can cause job or script failures.

Check impacted jobs and scripts

CAUTION:

If they are deleted, jobs or scripts that involve a guest OS on the VM server can

fail to run or not run properly.

Procedure

This procedure uses the GUI.

1.

In the navigation pane, select Enabled Hosts.

On the VM Servers tab, select the VM server to delete.

3.

Select Actions > Delete.

4.

Executing a host script, command or batch file

Execute a command, batch file, or script on an enabled host. For example, you can run a script
that pauses database I/O before you make a snapshot of a virtual disk. After making a snapshot,
run another script to resume the I/O.

Considerations

You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI. See

Enabled hosts actions cross reference

.

Root and administrator permissions

CAUTION:

Because commands are executed using root or administrator permissions on the

host, it is possible to severely impact the host and host storage operations.

Commands are not validated before sending them to the host. Ensure that commands fully
comply with the host OS or application software rules and syntax.
