Unmanaging a host
Using the License Management Service console, you can unmanage a host if required. Hosts are typically unmanaged for the following reasons:
-
Server Tier
-
Support exception
-
ELA
-
Decommisioned
-
Not defined
If a host has entitlements even if it is partial, you cannot unmanage the host. The unmanaged hosts are displayed in the table. In the Entitlement status column, you can view the reason for which the host is unmanaged.
