Remove protection from VMs or intelligent VM groups

You can unsubscribe VMs or intelligent VM groups from a protection plan. When the asset is unsubscribed, backups are no longer performed.

Note:

When you unsubscribe an asset from a protection plan, there is a possibility that the asset displays Classic policy in the Protected By column on web UI. This situation can happen when an asset is subscribed to a protection plan and a backup runs for that asset. Then the asset is unsubscribed from the protection plan while it has a valid backup image. The web UI displays Classic policy, but there may or may not be an active policy protecting the asset.

To remove protection from a VM or intelligent VM group

  1. On the left, click Nutanix AHV.
  2. On the Virtual machines tab or Intelligent VM groups tab, select the VM or the intelligent VM group.
  3. Click Remove protection > Yes.

    Under Virtual machines or Intelligent VM group, the asset is now listed as Not protected.
