[adminqskills]

hi everybody,

we are trying to delete an old storage system from the vcsa. We are getting the error you cannot delete this storage system.

any ideas how to get this system out of the inventory?

ONTAP 9.7

ESXI 7.0.1

thanks in advance

Can you be more specific?

are you trying to delete it from Netapp VSC or directly from vCenter? 

Any error messages or screenshot?
