  2. Click Remove.
  3. The following dialog box is displayed:

    Click Remove to remove the selected appliances.

  4. After you remove an appliance from the Appliance Management Console, you must also unregister it from the AMS.

    To unregister an appliance, run the Manage Agent Unregister command on the appliance from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.

To remove Flex appliances from the Appliance Management Console

  1. From the AMS Home page, select the appliance you would like to remove. Click Remove.
  2. In the dialog box that appears, confirm that you would like to remove the appliance by selecting Remove. You can then check the Flex Appliance Console to confirm that the appliance has been removed.
