Removing hosts

Remove ESXi hosts that you no longer want to monitor with IBM Storage Insights.

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar, go to Resources > Hosts and select the ESXi hosts that you want to remove
  2. Right-click the selected ESXi hosts and click Remove vCenter Server or click Actions > Remove vCenter Server
    CAUTION:
    Removing an ESXi host removes the vCenter Server and all the other associated ESXi hosts.

Results

When you remove a ESXi host, it is no longer monitored by IBM Storage Insights. All data that is associated with the host, including historical data, is removed from the database. All the scheduled tasks and data collection jobs for the host are canceled.
Note:

Some of the hosts might remain if the storage system that they are attached to is still being monitored. Such remained hosts turn into unmonitored hosts.
