Delete partner services through NSX Manager UI or API call.

Before you delete partner services or SVMs deployed on a host, you need to do the following from the NSX Manager UI.

To delete partner services:

Procedure

  1. Remove EPP rules applied to VM groups running on the host.
  2. Remove service profile protection applied to VM groups.
  3. Navigate to System > Service Deployments > Deployment.
  4. From the Partner Service drop-down menu, select the partner service.
  5. Click the vertical ellipses icon of the service you want to delete.
  6. Click Delete. The service will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
  7. In the pop-up window, click Delete.
    If the NSX Manager cannot reach partner service VM or cannot synchronize the state of the partner service VM, the status goes into Unknown state. If the service cannot be deleted, the Status goes into Failed state. In such scenarios, the partner service VM is not completely deleted from NSX. You need to call APIs to completely remove the partner service VMs.
  8. To verify whether there are any stale entries in NSX, run the following API.
