5.2 Deleting Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance)

Acronis Backup Management Server provides an easy way to remove Agent for VMware from ESX or ESXi
servers. You might generally prefer that method to the procedure described later in this section.
Connect the console to the management server. In the Navigation tree, right-click Virtual machines, then click
Remove Agent for VMware. Refer to the context help for further instructions.

You may need to manually delete the Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance), or VA, in the following
cases:

The VA is not registered on the management server.

You are not using vCenter Server or integration with vCenter Server is not enabled.

The VA is corrupted.

To remove Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance) manually

1. Start VMware vSphere Client and log on to the ESX(i) host or to vCenter Server.
2. Power off the VA.
3. If the VA uses a locally attached storage on a virtual disk, and you want to preserve data on that

disk, do the following:

a. Right-click the VA, and then click Edit Settings.
b. Select the disk with the storage, and then click Remove. Under Removal Options, click

Remove from virtual machine.

c. Click OK.

As a result, the disk remains in the datastore. You can attach the disk to another VA.

4. Right-click the VA, and then click Delete from Disk.
5. Remove the VA from the management server. Skip this step if the appliance is not registered on

the management server or has been already removed.
