Refer to "VMware Server Node" in "Environment Configuration" in the Storage Cruiser Operation Guide.
Deletion of Virtual Machine
The procedure to delete a virtual machine is as follows:
If virtual machine backup is being automatically executed, pause automatic execution of the virtual machine backup from Web Console.
Refer to "Automatic Execution Setting of Virtual Machine Backup" in the Web Console Guide for the method of pausing automatic execution.
Delete the virtual machine from VMware vCenter Server.
Delete the virtual machine from this product from Web Console.
Refer to "Delete Server" in the Web Console Guide for the deletion operation method.
Point
When using the Clone backup capture of the virtual machine backup function, even if the virtual machine is deleted, the Clone backup history is not deleted. For this reason, even after deleting the virtual machine, the virtual machine can be restored from the Clone backup.
Refer to "Clone Backup History Information" for deletion of Clone backup history.
Note
When using the virtual machine backup function, note the following points:
When the Snapshot is deleted from this product without being deleted from the VMware vCenter Server
The Snapshot backup history managed by this product is deleted, but the Snapshot on the VMware vCenter Server is not deleted. When the Snapshot is unnecessary, delete it from VMware vCenter Server.
Further, when the deleted virtual machine power is turned on, or an update is made of the VM host from this product, the registration of this product and policy are reset. The virtual machine backup operation is then started based on the set policy. When the backup operation is unnecessary, update the policy and disable the backup operation.
When the Snapshot is just deleted from the VMware vCenter Server without being deleted from this product
If the virtual machine backup is being automatically executed on the virtual machine, the automatic execution is stopped. However, as the Server registration information is not deleted from this Server, perform deletion processing as necessary.

Refer to "VM Host" in "2.2.3 Configuration and Registration of Managed Devices" for registering the VM host.
