Deleting a VPG
You can delete a VPG and either keep the target disks to use later for preseeding if you want to reprotect any of the virtual machines in the deleted VPG or delete these disks. Any offsite backups stored for the VPG are not deleted and the virtual machines that were backed up can be restored.
Note: You cannot delete a VPG while a backup job is running.
To delete a VPG:
1. In the Zerto User Interface, click the VPGs or VMs tab and select one or more VPGs to delete.
2. Click MORE > Delete.
The Delete VPG dialog is displayed.
3. Check Keep the recovery disks at the peer site if you might reprotect the virtual machines. Checking this option means that the target replica disks for the virtual machines are saved so that they can be used as preseeded disks if the virtual machines are re-protected.
4. Click APPLY to delete the VPG.
The VPG configuration is deleted. The VRA on the recovery site that handles the replication for the VPG is updated including keeping or removing the replicated data for the deleted VPG, dependent on the Keep the recovery disks at the peer site setting during the deletion.
The locations of the saved target disks are specified in the description of the event for the virtual machines being removed, event EV0040, displayed in MONITORING > EVENTS.
