Clean up the vCenter Lookup Service

Use the Managed Object Browser (MOB) to clean up the old Site Recovery Manager registration in Lookup Service after deleting the appliance.

If you delete the Site Recovery Manager Appliance before you unregister it from the environment, you cannot use the Site Recovery Manager virtual appliance management interface (VAMI) to unregister Site Recovery Manager from vCenter Server.

   </filterCriteria>
