Removing VMware ESX Hosts
Complete the following procedure to remove ESX Hosts from a poller.
1. Under Settings in the navigation menu. Click on Virtualization (Assign ESX
Hosts)
2. On the Assign ESX Hosts page:
a. Select the ESX Hosts you want to remove and use the up arrow button to
move them back to the Available list
b. Click Save. A push will be scheduled immediately to update the agent(s) with
the changes.
Note:
• Clusters can also be assigned in the same manner by selecting 'Cluster'
instead of ESX in the ESX Host Assignment page
• If after selecting the Assign by 'Cluster' option, the user clicks on the
Save button without actually making any changes, then the ESX hosts
which are assigned to a different poller will be re-assigned under the
cluster poller.
• If this happens then, you need to re-assign the ESX hosts to its original
poller through the 'Assign ESX Hosts' page, by selecting the Assign by
'ESX' option.
VMware vCenter can be defined and assigned to an OS Agent after an OS Agent
has been installed and registered with the STM Server. VMware vCenter can
discover the ESX Servers connected to Virtual Center.
Important Note: To create a VMware vCenter, make sure that a STM Agent is
running on the IP Address you want to use to gather data from.
