Remove vDC's from resource pool

Hi,

We've got two resourcepools defined in our PVDC. We've decided to stop using elastic vDC's option. The VM's of all vDC;s are moved to one resource pool, so no vDC is spanned across the two resource pools. The we switched of the Elastic option. Now, if you look at vCenter every vDC still has an vDC resource pool. They do not have any VM, but they arent removed by vCloud Director. Also, looking at the web administrative console, the vDC's have the number two in the resource pool collum.

How can we remove/update the vDC's to remove their unused/spanned/elastic resource pool?

Regards,

Bastiaan

vCloud Director doesn't have a way to reconcile this automatically.

I assume you are using allocation pools (since that is the only Elastic setting I can think of)? 

If so, you should be able to delete the non-Primary Compute Resource from the provider itself.

Manage & Monitor > Provider vDCs > Double Click the Provider > Resource Pools > Right Click > Disable and then Detach any not listed as Primary.  The pool must be empty as per vCloud Director.
