Unregister the vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In

To remove the established connection between the on-premises vCloud Availability appliance and vCenter Server, unregister the vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In from the vCenter Server Lookup service, remove the installation files, and restart the vSphere Client.

Procedure

Unregister the vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In from the vCenter Server Lookup service by using a Secure Shell (SSH) client.
1. Open an SSH connection to the vCenter Server instance.
2. Log in as the root user.
3. List vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In registrations in the vCenter Server Lookup service and make a note of the listed Service Id value to use in the next command.
```
/usr/lib/vmidentity/tools/scripts/lstool.py list --ep-type com.vmware.vcav.endpoint --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk 2>/dev/null
```
4. Unregister the vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In from the vCenter Server Lookup service, by providing the SSO credentials and using the Service Id value obtained as a result of the previous command.
```
/usr/lib/vmidentity/tools/scripts/lstool.py unregister --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk --user 'SSO user name' --password 'SSO password' --id <Service Id>
```
5. Verify that the vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In is successfully unregistered by validating that the command shows no result.
```
/usr/lib/vmidentity/tools/scripts/lstool.py list --ep-type com.vmware.vcav.endpoint --url http://localhost:7080/lookupservice/sdk 2>/dev/null
```
After you unregistered the vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In, remove the installation files and restart vSphere Client.
1. Remove the vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In installation folders and files.
```
rm -rf /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.h4.vsphere.client-3.0.0 /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.h4.ngc.client-3.0.0
```
2. Restart the vSphere Client.
  - If you use vCenter Server 6.7, run the following command.
```
vmon-cli -r vsphere-ui
```
  - If you use vCenter Server 6.5, run the following commands.
```
service-control --stop vsphere-ui
```
```
service-control --start vsphere-ui
```

Results

The vCloud Availability vSphere Client Plug-In is unregistered from the vCenter Server Lookup service and the vCenter Server Lookup service is unregistered from the on-premises appliance configuration.

What to do next

You can use the on-premises vCloud Availability appliance only after you rerun the initial appliance configuration. If the on-premises site is still paired with a cloud site, use the same configuration values as for the original configuration before the first pairing.
