Removing ESX(i) host

Removing an ESX(i) host from Acronis Backup for VMware configuration may be required if you no longer want to perform backup/recovery operations over the virtual machines running on this ESX(i) host. The licenses assigned to this host will not be removed automatically. To remove binding licenses, you have to go to Configure -> Licenses page.

Removing an ESX(i) host/vCenter will cause the existing tasks to malfunction; therefore, when doing so, you will be prompted with the following warning message:

“You are about to remove an ESX(i) host/vCenter while there are backup or restore tasks associated with the virtual machines running on this host. These tasks may no longer function properly. Do you want to continue?”

Choosing Yes will result in the disappearance of all Acronis Backup for VMware tasks applied to the virtual machines running on this ESX(i) host/vCenter. If the task included virtual machines from different ESX(i) hosts, this task will be automatically modified to remove unnecessary virtual machines from the task configuration. This leaves only the virtual machines which can be managed by the ESX(i) hosts remaining in registration.
