Deleting objects using the Inventory List view

If you choose to delete an object (if you have privileges) you are irretrievably deleting the object from the reporting database. All related historical data will also be permanently deleted from the database and unavailable in all reports. A pop-up window warns you of this action to prevent inadvertent deletions.

When you delete a host, it removes everything related to the host except the VM Server. To remove the related VM Server, you just explicitly delete it using the Inventory window. This prevents servers from being orphaned in the database.

In most cases, you should remove a host from a group, thereby un-linking it from its relationship with other machines in that group.

To delete objects using the Inventory

Note:

VM Guests, individual LUNs, S3 Buckets, EC2 Instances, Azure Storage Accounts, Azure Virtual Machines and datastores cannot be deleted.

  1. Select Inventory.
  2. Select the object type category and expand to view.
  3. Toggle to the Inventory List view.
  4. Select an individual object or you can multi-select.
  5. Click Delete. Remember all related historical data will also be permanently deleted from the database and unavailable in all reports. A confirmation dialog is displayed.
