4 In the Protection Groups > Objects tab, highlight all protection groups, right-click and select Delete
Protection Group.
You cannot delete a protection group that is included in a recovery plan. You cannot delete array-based
or vSphere Replication protection groups that contain virtual machines on which protection is still
configured.

click the array manager and select Remove Array Manager.
8 Select Site Recovery > Sites, right-click a site and select Break Pairing.
Breaking the site pairing removes all information related to registering Site Recovery Manager with
Site Recovery Manager, vCenter Server, and the Platform Services Controller on the remote site.
9 Log into the Site Recovery Manager Server host for one of the sites.
10 (Optional) If you use array-based replication, uninstall the storage replication adapter (SRA).
For instructions about how to uninstall the SRA, see the documentation from the SRA provider.
11 Use Windows Control Panel to uninstall Site Recovery Manager, selecting the option Delete Site
Recovery Manager Data.
Do not uninstall the Site Recovery Manager database before you uninstall Site Recovery Manager.
12 (Optional) If you use the embedded database, use Windows Control Panel to uninstall the
Site Recovery Manager Embedded Database.
13 Repeat Step 9 to Step 12 on the other site.
Uninstall and Reinstall the Same Version of Site Recovery Manager
If you uninstall then reinstall the same version of Site Recovery Manager, you must perform certain actions
to reconfigure your Site Recovery Manager installation. You must perform these actions even if you retained
the database contents when you uninstalled Site Recovery Manager, then connected the new installation to
the existing database.
If you configured advanced settings in the previous installation, these advanced settings are not retained if
you uninstall and then reinstall the same version of Site Recovery Manager. This is by design.
Procedure
1 (Optional) If you configured advanced settings in the existing installation, take a note of the advanced
settings.
You configure advanced settings in Site Recovery > Sites > Site > Manage > Advanced Settings in the
vSphere Web Client
2 Uninstall Site Recovery Manager, without deleting its data.
3 Reinstall Site Recovery Manager.
During reinstallation, connect Site Recovery Manager to the same vCenter Server instance and the same
database as the previous installation.
