Removing a Virtual Machine

Remove a virtual machine (VM) to permanently delete it and optionally delete associated volumes from the ztC Edge system.

Prerequisite: Both PMs of the ztC Edge system must be online to properly remove a VM. On the Physical Machines page of the ztC Edge Console, verify that both PMs are in the running state and that neither PM is in maintenance mode or in the process of synchronizing.

To remove a virtual machine

  1. On the Virtual Machines page, select a VM.
  2. Click Shutdown in the bottom panel.
  3. When the VM has stopped, click Remove.

  4. In the Remove Virtual Machine dialog box, activate the check box next to volumes that you want to delete. Clear the check box for volumes to save as archives or save for attachment to another VM.

    Caution: Make sure that you select the correct VM and volumes for removal. When you click Delete VM, these items are permanently removed.
  5. Click Delete VM to permanently delete the VM and any selected volumes.
