After performing an instant recovery, tear down the IR session. This removes the recovery object from the appliance, freeing resources that were being used for the recovery. If the recovery was done in audit mode, this also deletes the recovered VM from the virtual host.
Note: If the recovery was done in instant recovery mode, do not perform this procedure until all data has been migrated and the VM is ready for use. Tearing down too early invalidates the recovered VM (and you must perform IR again to create a new one).
1 | On the appliance used for the recovery, select Recover and click the Instant Recovery tab. |
Active IR sessions display by VM name.
2 | Click to select the applicable instant recovery session. |
3 | Click Tear Down. |
4 | Click Confirm. |
The session is removed from the appliance and no longer displays on the Instant Recovery tab. If the IR VM was running in live mode, it is retained on the hypervisor. If the IR VM was running in audit mode, it is removed from the hypervisor.
