Deregistering a Velocity Storage Server is part of a two-step process for resetting a storage server. If you need to replace your Velocity Storage Server or clean up your environment, you can reset the storage server. The other part of the two-step process is to perform a factory reset of the Velocity hardware appliance or delete the virtual machine that you used as the storage server. The two-step process can be performed in any order.
When you deregister a Velocity Storage Server, you remove it from Velocity. After the Velocity Storage Server is deregistered, none of the database sources, database copies, sandboxes, and paths where ingested database sources are stored can be accessed from Velocity. Any mount points on the source host server that point to export paths on the Velocity Velocity Storage Server will become invalid, and must be removed manually. This action cannot be undone. Only the Velocity administrator can perform this action.
Although the data from the Velocity Storage Server is no longer accessible from Velocity, the data still exists temporarily on the virtual machine that you used as a Velocity Storage Server or from the Velocity hardware appliance. If you register a new Velocity Storage Server, the data from the deregistered storage server cannot be synced with the new storage server. The new storage server will require new ingested database sources, database copies, and sandboxes.
To deregister a Velocity Storage Server
From the Velocity Console, in the left pane, click Velocity Storage Server.
Click Deregister on the row that contains the Velocity Storage Server that you want to deregister.
On the confirmation dialog, click Proceed.
The Velocity Storage Server and all associated database sources, database copies, sandboxes, and paths where ingested databases are stored are removed from the Velocity Console. The audit log lists the user who initiated the action and the date and time when the action was completed.
