JetStream DR software can be completely removed from vCenter and the vSphere cluster when it is no longer needed.

    1. Ensure that no snapshots are present in the protected cluster.
      • If snapshots are present remove them before proceeding.
    1. Go to the Protected Domains screen.
      • Browse each Domain that contains protected VMs and stop protection.

Figure 407: Navigate to each Protected Domain that contains protected VMs.

        • Select all protected VMs.
        • Click the Stop Protection button.

Figure 408: Click the Stop Protection button.

      • After protection has stopped, the JetStream DR policy will be detached automatically from the protected VMs.

      • Click the Delete button to delete the Protected Domain.

    1. Go to the Storage Sites screen. 
      • Select the storage site.
      • Click the Remove button to remove the storage site.

    1. Go to the Appliances screen.
      • Select a DRVA to unconfigure.
      • Click the Unconfigure button.
      • Repeat for all DRVAs.

    1. Go to the Configurations screen.
      • Unconfigure all configured clusters.
        • DRS of the clusters should be enabled with the "Fully Automated" level.
        • All hosts of clusters to be unconfigured must be able to enter maintenance mode.
      • The IOFilter VIB bundle will be removed from the hosts of the protected clusters during the unconfigure cluster operation.
        • JetStream DR storage policies will automatically be removed from vCenter once all clusters have been successfully unconfigured.

    1. Access the MSA using a web browser to unregister vCenter Server from the MSA.
      • vCenter Server credentials with admin privilege are necessary to unregister.

    1. Log out from vCenter and then log back in (this is necessary to refresh the screen).
      • The JetStream DR plug-in should no longer exist in vCenter.

Figure 415: Verify the JetStream DR plugin has been removed and no longer exists in vCenter.

Note: If the JetStream DR plug-in still appears, restart the vsphere-ui service and check again. 
The service can be restarted using the VCSA command: service-control -- restart vsphere-ui

    1. Shut down the MSA VM, then delete it from disk.
      • JetStream DR software will now be fully uninstalled.
