Remove a virtualization service

SA does not permit you to remove a VS if there are any other jobs running against it.

When you no longer need to manage a VS from SA Management, you can remove it using the following process. This process removes all the VMs and hypervisors from SA management that are only managed by the VS. That is, any VMs and hypervisors managed by the VS that are also agent-managed will still be managed by SA.

1. In the SA Client, select the Virtualization tab. This displays all your registered VSs.
2. Select a VS.
3. Right-click or select the Actions menu and select Remove Virtualization Service. This displays the Remove Virtualization Service window.
4. Confirmation: Confirm that the VS displayed is the one you want to remove, then select Next. Or you can select Start Job to accept the remaining defaults and run the job.
5. Scheduling: Select when you want the VS to be removed—immediately or in the future—then select Next.
6. Notifications: Optionally enter a notifier, then select Next.
7. Job Status: Select the Start Job or Schedule Job button. This runs the job or schedules it to be run in the future and displays the Job ID number in the window banner. You can use the Job ID number to look up the job under the Jobs and Sessions tab.

   When the job runs, it removes the VS and displays the results.

Once the VS has been removed from SA management, the virtualization inventory of the VS will not be displayed in the SA Client under the Virtualization tab. All hypervisors or virtual machines that are agent-managed or iLO-managed will still be displayed under the Devices tab.
