What to do next
You can monitor the status of your scale out request on the Requests tab on the vRealize Automation
console.
Tear Down an Application from vCloud Automation
Center
You can request the teardown of standard and composite applications and their virtual machines from the
vRealize Automation console.
You can also tear down a deployed application from the Application Services user interface or the
command-line interface. See Tear Down an Application from the Cloud and Using CLI to Tear Down a
Deployment. In the Application Services user interface you can define a TEARDOWN life cycle stage
script for a service version and application component to remove an application and associated virtual
machines or an updated application.
If a deployment fails after installing one or more virtual machines in vCenter Server and
vRealize Automation that are part of an application, or if an application is not used, you can use
vRealize Automation to tear down the application. All virtual machines in the application are removed
from their hosts.
Deployment tear down with vRealize Automation does not remove the deployment record from the
Deployments page in Application Services. To remove the deployment record from the Deployments
page, see Delete an Application Deployment from Application Services.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a tenant administrator.
n
Verify that you have access to at least one deployed application in vRealize Automation.
n
Verify that the virtual machines that are part of the application still exist in the cloud. If, for example,
your environment has a policy of deleting virtual machines after a certain number of days, the virtual
machines might already be deleted.
