SDDC Manager removal of VRSLCM

gilpena — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 19:11:02 GMT

I have deployed VCF 4.x management domain and using SDDC Manager deployed VRSLCM.

What is the recommended method to remove VRSLCM from a VCF management domain?

When you say remove, are you talking about deleting it or decoupling it from SDDC manager?

In case if VRSLCM deployment failed you can use API call:

When I try to remove a successfully deployed vRSLCM using VCF 4.2, I am returned the following json payload response. Did this actually work successfully for anyone?

{ "errors": [ { "message": "vRealize Lifecycle Manager Suite uninstall is not available" } ] }

How to remove it from DB (before doing that, shut down SDDC manager and take cold snapshot, so you will have temporary backup just in case)

manually clean-up the DB entries:

psql -h localhost -U postgres -d platform -c "truncate vrslcm;"
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d platform -c "delete from vm_and_vm_type_and_domain where vm_type ='VRSLCM';"
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d platform -c "delete from credentialhistory where credential_id in (select id from credential where entitytype ='VRSLCM');"
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d platform -c "delete from credential where entitytype ='VRSLCM';"

@MannyRodriguez1 any ideas on how to remove a WSA global environment from vRSLCM instead of removing vRSLCM from SDDC Mgr? The delete button isn't available on the environment.

@barnette08 did you find this out? I'm trying to do the same.

@kivlintom, nope I was only able to get vRSLCM removed and start over from there by redeploying vRSLCM from SDDC Manager.

Ah ok - using @MannyRodriguez1's approach?

Correct, it seemed to work just fine. Of course, be sure to take a snapshot of SDDC Manager just in case!

Hi All,

I am using this one with changing the VCF version inside the script to 4.2.* and it works well with me.
