Removing a storage system from the plug-in

If the IBM Storage Ceph Plugin for vSphere no longer needs to manage a specific storage system, it can be removed from the plug-in.

Procedure

  1. From the vSphere Plugin Dashboard, select the storage system to remove and click the delete icon.
  2. Confirm the removal of the storage system from the plug-in.
    Note:

    Removing a storage system from the plug-in does not delete any data, volumes, subsystems, gateway groups, logical configuration, or settings on the storage system. Removing the storage system removes only the ability to provision any subsequent storage volumes or manage existing VMFS datastores with the vSphere Plugin. Any existing datastores remain on the storage system and accessible from vSphere.

    If the storage system is later re-added to the plugin and the related objects on the storage system have not been changed, the storage system the associated information and settings work, without the need for readding or reconfiguring.
