If I delete the vCSA straight from vSphere, there's no fear that this would cause issues with VMs, right? I just need to know that all the VMs will keep running with no interruptions.</P><P></P><P>Cheers</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 08 Sep 2018 07:16:55 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Virtual-Appliances-Discussions/Safe-to-remove-VCSA/m-p/1387226#M5765 lkomarci 2018-09-08T07:16:55Z Re: Safe to remove VCSA? https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Virtual-Appliances-Discussions/Safe-to-remove-VCSA/m-p/1387227#M5766 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>VMs will not be affected from deleting the vCSA. </P><P>However, depending on which central functions are configured, you may need to be prepare the new instance before re-attaching the hosts to a new instance (e.g. distributed.switches, ...).</P><P>Although I think that you have this in mind, don't forget to reconfigure other things like backup, etc. after the setting up the new vCSA.</P><P></P><P>I assume that you don't have vSAN in use.
