Delete a DR service for a VM

Here you can find how you can delete an existing DR service.

Prerequisites

You are familiar with the Terminology and the following assumptions about the DR scenario:

  • There is a centralized Service Portal and CMP managing all zones.

  • Zones are named with single letters, like A, B, and C.

  • Names of DRE at the a zone follow a policy similar to the one for CMP. For example, DR_A and DR_B.

  • The Service Portal is integrated with the CMP and the DR engines in all zones. The Service Portal keeps information about the VMs in all zones and the IDs of the corresponding DR services.

  • The user is called Alice.

Procedure

  1. The Service Portal sends a request to DR_A to delete a DR service using the DELETE /drService method and providing the service’s identifier.

  2. Managing recovering points

    The DRE will rotate all automatically created recovering points according to the DR service’s policy. Based on the requirements, the Service Portal could implement functionality for deleting the last recovery points created by the specified DR service.

  3. The Service Portal sends a command to CMP to delete the stub VM.
