Clean up the vCenter Lookup Service

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

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