Hello,

Go into the vShield Manager and delete the components from there. Did this fail or something else is happening? Please provide more information.

Hi Texiwill,

Thank you for your reply. can you please tell me something more about deleting the components from VShield manager? Should I go via web console or CLI? If I delete the VAppliances of VShield, Data-security, VFirewall, will there be any effect in esxi hosts? Is there any way to delete those from Vcenter?

Regards,

Pinaki.

Hello Pinaki,

Use vShield Manager web UI to delete everything. Do not delete them directly from the hosts as there is far more than just the appliance to delete.
