Unconfiguring Snapshot Manager plug-ins
Snapshot Manager plug-ins allow Snapshot Manager to discover the assets on the host so that you can protect those assets by taking snapshots. If required, you can remove a Snapshot Manager plug-in configuration using the NetBackup UI.
Before you remove a plug-in configuration from the host, consider the following:
You must remove all the snapshots of the assets that are related to the plug-in that you wish to unconfigure.
Plug-in unconfiguration fails if asset snapshots exist.
Unconfiguring a plug-in removes the plug-in from the selected host. To protect the plug-in related assets on the same host again, you will have to reconfigure that plug-in on the host.
Once you unconfigure a plug-in, all the assets that are related to the plug-in are removed from the Snapshot Manager configuration and you will no longer be able to protect those assets.
To unconfigure a plug-in from a host
- Sign in to the NetBackup UI.
- Verify that you have removed all the plug-in related asset snapshots.
- From the menu on the left, click Workloads > Cloud and then click the Virtual machines tab.
- On the Virtual machines tab, select the host where you want unconfigure the agent and then from the menu bar that appears at the top, click Unconfigure.
Snapshot Manager unconfigures the plug-in from the host. Observe that the Unconfigure button now changes to Configure. This indicates that the plug-in unconfiguration is successful on the host.
