Removing a machine
When you remove a machine from protection on the Rapid Recovery Core, you are presented with two options:
you can keep the recovery points saved thus far to the RR Core, or you can remove the recovery points. If you
keep the recovery points, you have what is known as a “recovery points only” machine. Using those recovery
points for the machine that has been removed from current protection, you can continue to restore the machine in
the future, but only up to the state captured in a saved recovery point.
If you remove the recovery points, this action deletes any snapshot data for that formerly protected machine from
the Rapid Recovery Core.
CAUTION:
If you delete recovery points, you will no longer be able to restore data for that machine.
Complete the steps in the following procedure to remove a machine from protection in your Rapid Recovery
environment.
1. From the Rapid Recovery Core Console, in the left navigation pane under Protected Machines, click the
machine you want to remove.
2. On the Summary page for the relevant machine, click Remove Machine.
3. In the dialog box, if you want to also delete all recovery points for this machine from the repository, select
Remove with recovery points.
4. To confirm your choice to remove the machine, click Yes.
Rapid Recovery removes the machine from protection and cancels all active tasks for that machine.
Canceling operations on a machine
You can cancel currently executing operations for a machine. You can specify to cancel just a current snapshot or
to cancel all current operations, which would include exports, replications, and so on.
1. From the Rapid Recovery Core Console, in the left navigation area under Protected Machines, click the
machine for which you want to cancel operations.
2. Click the Events.
3. Click the Job Details icon on the far right for the in-progress event or operation that you want to cancel.
4. In the Monitor Active Task dialog box, click Cancel.
