Removing CloudPoint plug-in configuration
Before you upgrade CloudPoint, you must remove the CloudPoint plug-ins that are no longer supported by the newer CloudPoint release. If you upgrade CloudPoint without removing the deprecated plug-ins, then CloudPoint may hang and you may not be able to log on to the CloudPoint UI after the upgrade.
For example, CloudPoint 2.2 release no longer supports the HPE 3PAR and HDS plug-ins. If you have configured these plug-ins in your CloudPoint environment, you must remove them before you upgrade to release 2.2.
To remove a CloudPoint plug-in
- Ensure that you there are no active snapshots of the assets that are managed by the CloudPoint plug-in. You cannot remove a CloudPoint plug-in if there are snapshots.
For example, if you want to remove the HPE 3PAR plug-in, ensure that you delete all the CloudPoint snapshots from the HPE 3PAR array.
See Deleting a snapshot.
- From the CloudPoint dashboard, in the Administration card, locate Clouds/Arrays and then click Manage.
- On the Clouds and Arrays page, select the CloudPoint plug-in that you wish to remove and then click Manage from the Plugin Details panel that appears on the right side.
- On the plug-in configurations page, select the plug-in configuration and then click Remove Configuration from the Configuration Details panel that appears on the right side.
- Respond to the dialog that asks you to confirm whether you want to remove the plug-in configuration.
The UI displays a message that the plug-in has been removed successfully.
- Repeat these steps for each deprecated CloudPoint plug-in that you wish to remove.
- The next step is to upgrade CloudPoint.
See Upgrading CloudPoint.
