12.5.5 Removing ESX host

Removing an ESX host from Acronis vmProtect configuration may be required if you no longer want

to perform backup/recovery operations over the virtual machines running on this ESX host. The

licenses assigned to this host will not be removed automatically. To remove binding licenses, you

have to go to Configure->Licenses (p. 71) page.

Removing an ESX host/vCenter will cause the existing tasks to malfunction; therefore, when doing so,

you will be prompted with the following warning message:

these tasks to reflect the changes in configuration (the associated tasks will be either removed or

modified)? If you choose No, the tasks will remain intact but may not function properly due to the

Choosing Yes will result in the disappearance of all Acronis vmProtect tasks applied to the virtual

machines running on this ESX host/vCenter. If the task included virtual machines from different ESX

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 hosts

remaining in registration.
