Offboarding compute resources

When a resource is no longer needed or available, you can offboard the resource to remove it from the system.

You can offboard the following resource types when the listed conditions are true:

• Virtual cluster — You can offboard a virtual cluster when:
  • There are no virtual guests associated with the virtual cluster
  • There are no virtual guests associated with virtual host associated to the virtual cluster
  • There are no virtual guests associated with a virtual disk repository associated to the virtual cluster
     When you offboard a virtual cluster, you also offboard its associated virtual resource pools, virtual hosts, and virtual disk repositories.
• Virtual host — You can offboard a virtual host when there are no virtual guests associated with it.
• Virtual resource pool — You can offboard a virtual resource pool when when there are no virtual guests associated with it.
• Virtual disk repository — You can offboard a virtual disk repository at any time.
• Physical server — You can offboard a physical server when there are no cloud services running on it.
