I want to uninstsall my vCSA vm from my ESXi host.
How can I do that ? And why I do not see an option for this in the vSphere Web Client ?
I want to revert back to when ESXi had no vCSA.
Open a browser and browse to your ESXi host host client through browser https://esxi-ipaddress
Login as root
On the left menu, choose Virtual Machines, Power Off/Shutdown your vCSA, then Delete (Actions > Delete)
Which vSphere/ESXi version are you currently running on?
What are the reasons for you to remove vCSA?
How many ESXi hosts do you have?
vCenter/vCSA is a management solution to manage ESXi hosts from a single point of view.
Some vSphere features also require vCenter
If you have more than one hosts, it would be better to have a vCenter.
You can still login to ESXi hosts individually but it will have a warning/message that the ESXi host is managed by a vCenter Server.
If you only have one ESXi and you don't need full vSphere license, you can remove/disconnect the ESXi host from vCenter and manage the ESXi individually
I'm just learning now.
I want to revert back to what was ESXi, before I installed vCSA on top of it. All version 6.5.
So, how can I simply remove vCSA ?
Cause in the next lesson, I'm installing vCSA as a seperate VM.
So is there way to remove vCSA ? Apart from reverting to a ESXi snapshot (vmware workstation vm) from before I installed vCSA to it.
Open a browser and browse to your ESXi host host client through browser https://esxi-ipaddress
Login as root
On the left menu, choose Virtual Machines, Power Off/Shutdown your vCSA, then Delete (Actions > Delete)
Thanks!
