7.1.4.7 Removing Agent for ESX/ESXi
You can remove Agent for ESX/ESXi from an ESX/ESXi server by deleting the corresponding virtual
appliance. When integration with vCenter is enabled, Agent for ESX/ESXi can be removed
automatically from the hosts managed by the vCenter Server.
To remove Agent for ESX/ESXi automatically:
1. In the Navigation tree, right click the group that has the same name as the vCenter Server.
2. Click Remove ESX agents.
3. A list of ESX/ESXi hosts obtained from the vCenter Server will be displayed. Select the hosts to
remove the agents from, or check the Select all check box.
4. Click Remove ESX agents.
What happens when you remove an agent
The virtual appliance that contains the agent will be deleted from the server's disk. The virtual
machines hosted on this ESX/ESXi server will disappear from the management server or become
unavailable for backup and restore, if integration with the vCenter is still enabled.
The Virtual Edition license on the license server will not be freed up automatically. Revoke it
manually from this host using the Manage licenses tool if you need to free up the license.

Storage nodes

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node helps you to optimize usage of various resources
required for the enterprise data protection. This goal is achieved through organizing managed vaults
(p. 417) that serve as dedicated storages of the enterprise backup archives.
Storage node enables you to:
 relieve managed machines of unnecessary CPU load by using the storage node-side cleanup (p.
420) and storage node-side validation (p. 420).

drastically reduce backup traffic and storage space taken by the archives by using deduplication
(p. 75).

prevent access to the backup archives, even in case the storage medium is stolen or accessed by
a malefactor, by using encrypted vaults (p. 416).
To learn more about Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node, see the Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Storage Node (p. 21) section.
