Remove (force) vcenter from backup enterprise manager

Post by stevenrodenburg1 »

Hello,

How does one remove a stale/dead/gone vCenter from the registered vCenters page in Backup Enterprise Manager? Clicking on remove does not work as it asks for the usual credentials, but as it cannot connect to the (now) non existing vCenter, it fails and the entry stays visible in the list.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Have you removed the vCenter from the Veeam B&R console -> Backup Infrastructure?

Thanks!

Hi Dmitry,

Yes. It's an old 5.5 vCenter which has been gone for years. I'm starting to feel like it needs to be "hacked" out of the database as their is no GUI to forcefully get rid of stale entries.
