Unregister and Remove a vSphere Replication Server

If you deployed additional vSphere Replication server instances that you no longer require, you must unregister them from the vSphere Replication appliance before you delete them.

Prerequisites

You deployed and registered a vSphere Replication server that you no longer require. Make sure it does not serve any replications, otherwise the operations will fail.

Procedure

1. Select the vSphere Replication view in the Site Recovery Manager interface.
2. Select the vSphere Replication server to remove and click the Virtual Machines tab.
3. Select the virtual machines that the vSphere Replication server manages.

   • Click Remove Replication to stop replication of a virtual machine.

   • Click Configure Replication to use a different virtual vSphere Replication server to handle the replication of a virtual machine.

4. Right-click the vSphere Replication server to remove and select Remove VR Server.

   Removing the vSphere Replication server unregisters it from the vSphere Replication management server in the vSphere Replication appliance.

5. In the Hosts and Clusters view, power off and delete the vSphere Replication server virtual machine.
