How to remove a VM from SRM protection ?


I had just 1 VM in a recovery plan.  I am done with testing and now  I want to  release it from SRM control

-deleted the recovery plan

-deleted the protection group.

But if I try to anything on the vm now ,  I get the warninmg " This enity is managed by VMware Site Recovery Manager Extenstion........"

1. What version of SRM are you using ?

2. After running Test Plan, did you run "Cleanup" ?

3. Have you ever run the Recovery Plan as a Planned Migration or Failover ?
