Deactivate AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State on a Virtual Machine

You can deactivate SEV-ES on a virtual machine.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the virtual machine is powered off.
PowerCLI 12.1.0 or later must be installed on a system that has access to your environment.

In a PowerCLI session, run the Connect-VIServer cmdlet to connect as an administrator to the vCenter Server that manages the ESXi host with the virtual machine from which you want to remove SEV-ES.
For example:
```
Connect-VIServer -server vCenter_Server_ip_address -User admin_user -Password 'password'
```
Deactivate SEV-ES on the virtual machine with the Set-VM cmdlet, specifying -SEVEnabled $false.
For example, first assign the host information to a variable, then deactivate SEV-ES for the virtual machine.
```
$vmhost = Get-VMHost -Name 10.193.25.83
Set-VM -Name MyVM2 $vmhost -SEVEnabled $false
```

SEV-ES is deactivated on the virtual machine.
