VR Appliance VMs are claiming space on DS I want to remove

[jhardman_the41]

I have a SAN that I am removing from my environment. I have a VR replication server and a VR server that each have claimed 0.00B of XGB of space. So I can't unmount the volume. I'm running vSphere 5.5U2 with VR 5.8.

The volume in question has nothing else on it, its not a replication target.

Here is a ls -ahl of the volume in question...

What do I need to do to get these two VR VMs to stop claiming this DS?

Hi,

Can you attach screenshot or log snippet for where you see that VR appliance is claiming space on the datastore?

Sure

I feel like a moron... A reference to a ISO was config'ed on the VR VM pointing at that DS.

Nothing to see, move along
